Considering the attention this #JezeroBrightRock has received, I'd say there 's probably more coming: a drilling operation to get a sample?

Detail and context images of #Perseverance's latest abrasion, and possible sample location (marked green).

@PaulHammond51 reminds me that today is the 5th anniversary of #Perseverance landing on the surface of #Mars, hanging under the #SkyCrane as seen in this #OutOfThisWorld image it captured the moment the umbilical cord connecting them was cut, and the Sky Crane veered off to a heroic crash about 900m NW.
