The rover will collect two APXS measurements on "Galdenoch," one a brushed location and another offset from it, including some MAHLI images (see image) to document the textures there.
Right next to it is target "Glendouran" which we'll collect Mastcam and ChemCam to further document the outcrop.
Another target, "Gala Group," uses Mastcam and ChemCam RMI to peer at the geologic contact between the two main units.
The last bedrock target is on Gediz Vallis Ridge with a Mastcam mosaic to help document its stratigraphy.
Finally, some Mastcam imaging on "The Souter" for change detection in some local ripples. There's also a series of atmospheric observations: Navcam superhorizon, line-of-site, and dust devil survey.
