Analyzing the Basin Data

The data captured by K10 during yesterday's basin scouting were downloaded to the science team today. The science team spent the morning analyzing that data to aid in strategies for afternoon planning. The data analysis step completed the first robotic scouting cycle for the "North Area" science team.

We are now equiped with a thorough understanding of the tools at our disposal and the process by which we can maximize the science return from geologic exploration of the Black Point Lava Flow in northern Arizona.

Rob Stewart and Mike Wyatt took over as K-10 Science leads to plan tomorrow's traverses. Trafficability of those traverses is unknown so they are critical to determine what route the Lunar Electric Rover should take during the upcoming test at this location in September.
