Curiosity drove 12.5 meters on Sol 1478, to an area with lots of nodules in the bedrock. The tactical planning team decided to exercise the “touch and go” option, so the arm will be deployed for contact science before driving away on Sol 1480.  The plan is packed with a variety of activities, starting with a short APXS integration and MAHLI imaging of a nodule-rich target named “Oodi.”  The arm will then be moved out of the way for ChemCam and Right Mastcam observations of Oodi and nearby bedrock targets “Calenga” and “Caconda.”  The Right Mastcam will also acquire images of targets dubbed “Chitembo,” “Chingufo,” and “Chipindo” to investigate sedimentary structures in more detail, and of the rock that AEGIS selected for autonomous ChemCam chemical measurements.  Then Mastcam will measure dust in the atmosphere before the next drive and the usual post-drive imaging.  Overnight, CheMin will analyze the Quela drill sample again, to improve the quality of mineralogical measurements.  On Sol 1481, Navcam will search for clouds, AEGIS will autonomously select a target for ChemCam observations, and the results of the CheMin analysis will be read out of the instrument to the rover computer.  Finally, SAM will perform a maintenance activity before the rover gets some sleep and recharges her batteries in preparation for the next 2-sol plan.
