Suggested Techniques for Analyzing Mazatzal Rock with Pancam and MI Methods

DESCRIPTION

This document proposes various analytical techniques for examining the lower portion of the Mazatzal site on Mars. It emphasizes the potential of using multiple types of Mars Instrumentation (MI) to assess the area thoroughly. Recommendations include conducting light brushing to remove dust while preserving the underlying coating, which exhibits a thicker appearance and un-homogeneity. It outlines specific Pancam and MI configurations for optimal data collection, including suggestions for locations to target using the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT).

Suggestions • Lower portion of Mazatzal – Thicker “coating” • multi-MI on “as is” surface – un-homogeneity • Light brushing – only remove the dust & preserve “coating”
