El Dorado (1) - Sol 706
|
Original caption:"Sol 706: this was the week's only normal, single-Sol plan, which allowed engineers and scientists to plan a drive into El Dorado and to respond on the next Sol with a plan to attack the science objectives there. The Team expected to use the subsequent 3-Sol plan to trench in El Dorado and the 3-Sol plan after that to examine the trench.
In order to prepare for the trench, the Team planned a scuff at the end of the drive.
The scuff was to be just a 1/3rd of a wheel turn to push up some of the sandy material. That would give engineers some data on the consistency of the material so the team would know how long to trench".
