Sols 4402-4415: Rover Decks and Sequence Calls for the Holidays
Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 20, 2024
Welcome to the 2024 holiday plan for Curiosity! This year we're spanning 14 sols to last us through the Earth new year. And this is my fourth year operating Mastcam during the holidays (throwback to 2023 Marsmas!). I already knew to expect a long day, so I got my lunch prepared - blew Mars a kiss in the pre-dawn sky - and headed to work at 0600 Pacific time to start planning prep. Luckily my tea
