  102. <p>Earth planning date: Friday, July 25, 2025</p>
  103. <p>A 23-meter drive (about 75 feet) brought Curiosity to today’s planned “look-about” spot. The highlight of the plan will be the 360-degree Mastcam panorama that will document the ridge-and-hollow topography of the boxwork-forming unit we’ve been exploring, in addition to overlying stratigraphy in some of the nearby buttes. The right-angle ridge pattern is quite prominent in the HiRISE orbital imaging, which enabled us to plan for this stop. It has been 70 sols since <a href="https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA26559" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the last panorama</a>, and the rover has driven quite some distance in that time!</p>
  104. <p>Additional detailed imaging was planned with the ChemCam remote imager (RMI) and Mastcam high-resolution M100: mosaics will cover the exposed strata underneath the ridge we’re planning to drive on (“Arequipa Airport”), two linear fractures, one parallel to the large ridge and one cross-cutting it (“Laguna de Salinas” and “Laguna Santa Rosa”), some troughs around a nearby light-toned float block (“Arubai”), and the Uyuni butte in the middle distance.</p>
  105. <p>The bedrock texture here was a noticeable change from the previous workspace, with a knobbly oriented texture interspersed occasionally with platier exposures. Geochemical measurements were planned with the ChemCam LIBS to complement the auto-targeted post-drive AEGIS measurement: “La Coca” on a block that appeared to show unusual colors, and “El Algodón” on a knobbly textured chunk of bedrock. APXS geochemistry was planned with dust removal on the “Yura Tuff” knobbly target and without dust removal on the “Tipnis” target. MAHLI will also provide close-up imaging on the two APXS targets.</p>
  106. <p>For the modern Martian environment, it’s still the cloudy season at Gale so we are planning several cloud-related activities. The Mastcam sky survey will measure abundances of atmospheric dust and water ice, whereas a special cloud altitude observation will include video of clouds and their shadows so that the altitudes and velocities of the clouds and related winds can be calculated. A separate short movie will search for dust lifting (dust devil) activity. Finally, the usual passive REMS and DAN observations will monitor the temperature, humidity, and neutron environment at Curiosity’s current location.</p>

  822. <p>At the main <strong>Event Center in building 3</strong>, at the front of the building (East side) there is a large lot with standard and accessible spaces. This is the best place to park as it affords the easiest access to the entry doors, which have an ADA accessible ramp. At the rear of the building, there is a secondary large over-flow lot. As this is on the back side of the building, you will need to walk all the way around to enter through the main entrance, or make arrangements to enter through the ADA accessible doors at the rear of the building.</p>

  1083. <p>Earth planning date: Wednesday, July 23, 2025</p>
  1084.  
  1085.  
  1086.  
  1087. <p>For today’s planning, we were in the same workspace as the Monday plan — on purpose! We don’t often have a plan without a drive but in order to allow the battery to recover from some power-hungry SAM atmospheric measurements over the <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/blog/curiosity-blog-sols-4604-4606-taking-a-deep-breath-of-martian-air/" rel="noopener">weekend</a> and <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/blog/curiosity-blog-sols-4607-4608-deep-dip/" rel="noopener">on Monday</a>, we needed to stay put and skip our usual drive. As a result, we gained a bonus planning cycle at this interesting workspace. </p>
  1088.  
  1089.  
  1090.  
  1091. <p>We are in one of the “hollows” between the resistant ridges of the “boxwork” terrain, as you can see in the image for this blog. This made for a quieter Operations day for me as the APXS planner. As <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/blog/curiosity-blog-sols-4607-4608-deep-dip/" rel="noopener">Deborah noted in Monday’s blog</a>, we have already gotten three APXS and MAHLI measurements in this workspace, so we didn’t acquire more in this plan.</p>
  1092.  
  1093.  
  1094.  
  1095. <p>This morning, we focused on documenting some small light-toned, rounded, white pebbles in the workspace (you can see them in the <a href="https://mars.nasa.gov/raw_images/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accompanying Navcam image</a>), which look very different from the underlying bedrock. We used our one ChemCam LIBS analysis for the plan on “Yana Qaqa.” Mastcam will image this pebble, another at “Ojos del Salado,” and a really cool-looking target with a dendritic-looking texture at “Punta de Lobos.”</p>
  1096.  
  1097.  
  1098.  
  1099. <p>Further afield, Mastcam will image the adjacent boxwork ridge and hollow in our drive direction, and a series of troughs with raised edges to the right of our current workspace. ChemCam will image a long-distance RMI mosaic of “Cueva de los Vencejos y Murciélagos,” which was imaged by Mastcam on Monday, and also acquire some further images of the “Mishe Mokwa” hill.</p>
  1100.  
  1101.  
  1102.  
  1103. <p>We had a bumper couple of sols of atmospheric measurements over the weekend and Monday. Now we revert back to our more normal environmental and atmospheric monitoring. These do not get as much attention sometimes as the amazing images we take of the fascinating rocks we see, but have been taking place consistently and continuously since Curiosity’s <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/blog/msl-update-1984/" rel="noopener">landing almost 13 years ago now</a>. This plan includes a series of Navcam movies (suprahorizon, dust devil) and a line-of-sight observation of dust, standard REMS and DAN observations, and two Mastcam tau measurements, looking at dust in the atmosphere.</p>
  1104.  
  1105.  
  1106.  
  1107. <p>Our 24-meter drive (almost 79 feet) will take us out of this hollow and back up on top of a ridge. From here, we hope to be able to spy the best driving path through the boxwork. The ridges are up to 5 meters in diameter (about 16 feet), so we are cautiously hopeful that we can just trundle along one of the ridges as we investigate this fascinating terrain.</p>

  1398. <p>Welcome to “OSDR Chats,” an interview series featuring authors of publications that were enabled by the Open Science Data Repository (OSDR). Researchers share highlights and insights into their work, emphasizing the valuable roles played by the OSDR in their research. This newest interview features Dr Begum Mathyk  who discusses her paper “<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-05213-2" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-05213-2" rel="noopener">Spaceflight induces changes in gene expression profiles linked to insulin and estrogen</a>“, one of 45 that were part of the <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/osdr-latest-news-soma-publications/" rel="noopener">Nature Press package</a> publications.</p>

  1406. <p>Organismal adaptations to spaceflight have been characterized at the molecular level in model organisms, including <em>Drosophila</em> and <em>C. elegans</em>. This study extends such molecular work to energy metabolism and sex hormone signaling in mice and humans. The findings of this research underscore the critical importance of in-depth hormonal studies on the effects of space travel, which are vital for enabling further human exploration of space. The study also emphasizes the need for further research focused on women’s health and the development of tailored healthcare strategies for space environments.</p>
