1. ChemCam.
ChemCam. (A) The ChemCam aperture is the large, circular mirror on the Curiosity rover’s Remote Sensing Mast (image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS). (B) The rock at the “Windjana” drill site was measured by ChemCam LIBS, leaving visible marks both on the surface (upper right) and inside the 16-mm-diameter drill hole (center) (image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS). (C) Soil targets are also measured, as in the RMI view of “Sandy_Dam” (image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/CNES/CNRS/LANL/IRAP/IAS/LPGN). (D) The RMI’s infinite-distance focus capability allows detailed views of distant targets, such as this area in the Peace Vallis alluvial fan, ~25 km away (image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/CNES/CNRS/LANL/IRAP/IAS/LPGN).
