It's now Sol 1038 of the Mars2020 mission, and local Mars time is 21:09:42.

This is a weather report for the past 7 sols for Jezero, Mars, using data from the #MEDA instrument aboard #Perseverance.

Report Sol: 1036
Ls: 183.5°

Ranges
Temperature:
Highs: -11.4 to -6°C
Lows: -75.1 to -73°C

Pressure:
644.3 to 648.8 Pa

Minimum air density:
0.0126 to 0.0129 kg/m³ (#Ingenuity should be flying at high rpm)

It's now Sol 1032 of the Mars2020 mission, and local Mars time is 01:42:31.

This is a weather report for Jezero, Mars, using data from the #MEDA instrument aboard #Perseverance.

Report Sol: 1029
Ls: 179.4°

Temperature ranges in the past 6 sols:
Highs: -10.2 to -5.5°C
Lows: -74.5 to -72.2°C

Atmospheric density, a parameter that influences #Ingenuity's flights, is 0.0127kg/m3, still much lower that the 0.0145kg/m3 required for normal rotor rpm.
