Selected Target Investigation and Drone Mission Preparation
Investigate the selected Mars target and prepare the drone for the next observation mission.
Conduct a detailed scientific investigation of the target selected during Sol 3. Review available scientific records, historical observations, terrain information, operational constraints, and relevant mission logs through Mission Control and Science Lab interfaces. Physically visit the Drone Section to inspect the existing drone and verify its visible preparation state. Submit a preliminary terrain assessment and a preparation report for the Sol 5 aerial reconnaissance mission.
