SOL 06Field Exploration & ReconPHOBOSIA Outpost Complex
Mars Surface Field Investigation
Ground-Level Geological Observation, Soil Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
Primary Mission Directive
Continue investigating the exact target selected in Sol 3 and studied in Sols 4 and 5. Travel on foot to the target, record ground-level geological observations, collect and secure one soil/regolith sample, return through the existing Airlock, analyse the sample in the Science Lab and start a cultivation experiment whose result remains pending until Sol 8.
