Margin' up the Crater Edge!

.Considering that beginning its own steep increase the scar rim, Perseverance has actually been actually negotiating along the edge of the frame system (the margin of the scope!), a puzzling device wealthy in carbonates, a mineral group carefully connected to habitability. Right here, the vagabond crew scouted out a pile of stone called "Presence Gorge," where Perseverance removed the messy, weather-beaten area along with its own reliable abrading little. The leading abraded spot, called Eremita Mesa, is envisioned over being actually checked out through Determination's distance scientific research musical instruments mounted on its own robotic arm. This consists of taking close-up images to examine the millimeter-scale bits that make up the rock, making use of the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensor for Workflow and eNgineering) cam, which operates as Determination's magnifying glass.
