Margin' up the Scar Rim!

.Due to the fact that beginning its high drive up the scar edge, Perseverance has actually been passing through along the edge of the frame unit (the frame of the margin!), a perplexing system wealthy in carbonates, a mineral team carefully linked to habitability. Right here, the rover crew scouted out a mound of stone contacted "Specter Chasm," where Willpower cleared away the messy, weather-beaten surface area along with its trusty abrading bit. The leading abraded spot, called Eremita Mesa, is envisioned over being checked out through Perseverance's distance science tools mounted on its own robot upper arm. This includes taking close-up photos to analyze the millimeter-scale fragments that make up the stone, making use of the WATSON (Wide Slant Topographic Sensing Unit for Functions and eNgineering) electronic camera, which functions as Determination's cumulative glass.
