Recently, Curiosity’s rover discovered a rock that sparked its curiosity due to its unique color and texture. However, the rock was just out of reach for the rover. To gather more information about the geology in the area, Curiosity made a 0.7-meter drive to reach a nearby rock that is suitable for drilling.
After thorough discussions with a team of engineers, geologists, chemists, and other experts, it has been decided that this new rock will be the next potential drill target for Curiosity. The target has been named “Mammoth Lakes,” in reference to a town in California known for its basalt columns, hot springs, and waterfalls.
The team is thrilled about this opportunity to study this rock further and uncover more information about the geology of the area. By drilling into the rock, they hope to gain valuable insights that will help to further our understanding of the Martian landscape. Keep tuned for updates on Curiosity’s progress as it continues its exploration!
