Rim campaign update

Bye bye Dox Castle, onward to the next site of major scientific interest: Pico Turquino, with ancient fractures that may have been caused by hydrothermal activity in the distant past.

a 52-images mosaic captured three days ago by Perseverance at the "Dox Castle" site, a spot of Jezero Crater whose rocks may have been dumped by the asteroid impact that carved the crater out.

If I follow correctly what's going on, these must be first Mastcam-Z images of the "Dox Castle" site, captured by Perseverance. Rim science here we go!

Well I guess this must be the "Dox Castle" site

This week, Perseverance, on her way from "Serpentine Rapids" to "Dox Castle", has been taking many single snapshots and complex mosaics with her Mastcam zoom cameras, which are now being slowly transmitted. Here is one shot taken five days ago on Sol 1244 that has just arrived!
