The Perseverance rover is always on the move! With our first core sample of the margin unit in hand, we’re already plotting a course to our next stop in the. One of our future destinations is a location named “Jurabi Point” which the team’s scientists have been eagerly waiting to explore even before landing on the Red Planet.
First though, we’re wrapping up the investigation at our current workspace. As we continue to digest the data collected by our proximity science instruments from the first margin unit abrasion, we have performed a short drive we call a ‘bump’ to a nearby region of interest. Images taken by the Mastcam-Z camera show some curved features in the rock here.
What makes “Jurabi Point” so scientifically interesting? Well, it’s what geologists call a ‘triple-junction’: a place where three geologic units meet. Specifically, it’s where the boulder-rich unit, upper fan sedimentary rock, and margin unit intersect.
Once we’ve completed our study at the “Jurabi Point” triple-junction, we then plan on heading west, documenting changes in the margin unit as we drive uphill. We’ll conclude the Margin Campaign by driving down into Neretva Vallis for the first time – the river channel that feeds the western fan – in order to investigate an enigmatic light-toned rock unit exposed within the channel wall.SciTechDaily: Home of the best science and technology news since 1998.
