On Sol 1000 #Perseverance moved ~13m SW to RMC 47.4404. Interestingly, that location and the one of Sol 999 were scouted by #Ingenuity on #Flight62, back on Sol 940.

Here is an image from that flight processed with the #WestBank palette and superimposed with the approximate path of the rover. A map showing the area follows.

#Flight61 was a popup one, where #Ingenuity took off, flew vertically to a record 24m, and landed on the same spot.

This image was captured on the ground, 5 sols after that flight and 2 sols before #Flight62. Notice the stony foreground, and the mark one foot left on the sand.

Wide view to Jurabi Point.

While not very accurate, since these images were captured by #Ingenuity with more than 100m distance between them, the view shows part of the area #Perseverance may visit next, after finishing business at its current location.

Here comes #Ingenuity's #Flight62, tomorrow Thursday Oct 12, 2023. The #MarsHelicopter will fly out to Jurabi Point with a record speed of 10m/s and back to the same airfield where it will take off from.

Map with guessed path follows.
