Margin' up the Scar Rim!

.Considering that beginning its steep drive up the crater rim, Determination has been actually passing through along the side of the scope device (the frame of the margin!), a puzzling system wealthy in carbonates, a mineral team closely connected to habitability. Listed here, the rover crew checked a pile of rock called "Presence Chasm," where Willpower cleared away the messy, weather-beaten surface area with its trustworthy abrading little. The leading abraded patch, called Eremita Mesa, is actually pictured above being actually checked out through Willpower's distance scientific research tools mounted on its robot upper arm. This includes taking close-up images to analyze the millimeter-scale fragments that compose the stone, making use of the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensor for Procedures and eNgineering) camera, which performs as Determination's magnifying glass.
