We have been busy traversing the floor of Jezero Crater and have collected several samples for eventual return to Earth as well as running the Ingenuity helicopter through its paces.. The geologic field mapping from the rover perspective has been challenging as the rocks are all very weathered and altered from being present during the very wet early history of Mars. Below are som summaries of important events

We will be doing at least one more sample on our way back past the landing site in the coming month. After that we will be exploring to the north as we make our way to the base of the delta. Stay tuned.
