Margin' up the Crater Edge!

.Since starting its own high drive up the sinkhole rim, Willpower has actually been actually traversing along the side of the margin unit (the frame of the margin!), a perplexing system abundant in carbonates, a mineral group carefully linked to habitability. Right here, the rover staff checked a mound of rock contacted "Presence Chasm," where Perseverance eliminated the dirty, timeworn surface along with its reliable abrading little bit. The resulting abraded spot, phoned Eremita Mesa, is pictured above being actually looked into by Determination's closeness scientific research equipments installed on its robotic upper arm. This includes taking view pictures to check out the millimeter-scale particles that make up the rock, making use of the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensor for Procedures and also design) cam, which functions as Willpower's magnifying glass.
