A drive by Perseverance rover took it to site 71.696 during Sol 1468 (April 7, 2025) The attached image is one of the end-of-drive navigation camera 4-tile composite images. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech

I'll post the map and JSON data in the comments of this post as soon as JPL release it

Episode 209 Perseverance is a robotic field geologist equipped with a toolkit that’s better than any available to a human geologist on Earth. It uses a drill and abrading bit to get a look inside rocks, which is a great substitute for a rock hammer, except when it isn’t.

Hi, I am trying to find the Mars Weather on NASA's website but I can't seem to find it. Do you have a link maybe?

Thanks
