"Exploring Martian Mysteries: Dragon Scale Rocks and Sharp Discoveries"

NASA's Curiosity rover completed a fully loaded first sol, conducting a drill to expose a fresh surface on a bedrock target, followed by remote sensing activities including ChemCam LIBS and long distance RMI mosaics to assess the stratigraphy at Gediz Vallis ridge and the distant butte Kukenan. The plan also includes monitoring of rover deck movement, search for dust devils, and atmospheric dust. The second sol involves untargeted activities and post-drive imaging in preparation for the next plan, as the rover continues to make progress along the margin of upper Gediz Vallis ridge on Mars.
