Thanks Paul!! This is great information. I eat this stuff up and I am happily exploring the new quadrant themes.

What are the current quadrants naming conventions or terrestrial region? It's fun exploring the regions on line. There's a lot of history in these names.

After all this time I still love these data sheets.

 

This raw image shows SHERLOC's cover (bottom center) stuck partially open, or partially closed, whichever (hopefully closed). This image was from sol 1041. I see more raw images tonight that still show SHERLOC taking vague and foggy images, the same as the ones posted before and after this raw image. I'm assuming this is still an issue. What's the level of concern? What options do they have?

Where's Flight 68? I still only see two raw image files from it.

What's up with the CacheCam images from sol 913? It appears to be a sealed sample?

So they're going for another Three Forks style sample drop when they reach the rim? What are the pros and cons of that?
