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.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover to Begin Long Climb Up Martian Crater Rim

After 3½ years exploring Jezero Crater’s floor and river delta, the rover will ascend to an area where it will search for more discoveries that could rewrite Mars’ history.

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
