  3. Mars Guy: Episode 239.
    Mars is notorious for having copious amounts of dust, so when the dust cover of the highest resolution camera on Perseverance could not be closed, it seemed doomed. Here’s what’s happened after 21 months uncovered.

  7. ⤴️ this calibration target is part of a group of targets made of spacesuit materials: here a polycarbonate for use in a helmet visor. Scientists observe these materials to see how they react over time to the irradiated Martian atmosphere. Here are three other targets captured yesterday.

  12. “Mars is hard, and bringing instruments back from the brink is even harder”

    After six months of effort, an instrument that helps the Mars rover Perseverance look for potential signs of ancient microbial life has come back online.

  24. ✅ NASA is trying to fix a problem with one of Perseverance's instruments
    ✅ now over 1,000 sols since it landed on Mars, the rover is otherwise operating quite well on its missions

  26. Data and imagery from the Perseverance rover indicate one of two covers that keep dust from accumulating on the optics of the SHERLOC instrument remains partially open. In this position, the cover interferes with #science data collection operations.

    Mounted on the rover's robotic arm, #SHERLOC uses cameras, spectrometers, and a laser to search for organics and minerals that have been altered by watery environments and may be signs of past microbial #life.

  28. As shown in the graphic below of the SHERLOC instrument, the part on the left contains the autofocus mechanism and the optics for laser spectroscopy and for the Context Imager, a monochrome camera whose electronics are located at the top of the graphic. The part on the right is the WATSON 1648x1200 pixel optical camera.
    The cylindrical UV laser source and spectrometer are also shown in the diagram.

  30. Here is a look at Perseverance's SHERLOC instrument examining the freshly abraded rock patch. Compare the orientation of the turret at the end of the robotic arm with that in post #1 in the thread. The SHERLOC instrument and camera are located on the "side" of the turret, while the drilling mechanism is located at its end.

  36. Mars rover Perseverance sent what appears to be "parts inspection" type images yesterday.
    These two objects are part of the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman & Luminescence for Organics & Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument, mounted at the end of robotic arm. SHERLOC uses a UV laser and spectrometer to measure Raman scattering which helps determine fine-scale mineralogy and organic compounds in Martian rocks.
