Paul HammondMeanwhile on Mars!A short drive (bump) sees Perseverance rover move to a new robotic arm workspace. The attached processed image uses 6 overlapping NavCam tiles. The image tiles were acquired after the drive to RMC site 77.0, during mission sol 1551 (July 1, 2025). The image was assembled in MS-ICE. Also attached is the drive data, including a few basic statistics.
