Perseverance and the team recently celebrated one Martian year (668 sols or 687 Earth days) on the Red Planet while continuing to offload sample tubes at the "Three Forks" depot location.
Despite giving it the "old college try," Curiosity's attempt to drill into the Marker Band at the "Encanto" site did not reach sampling depth.
NASA announced Thursday its new Mars Sample Receiving Project office, responsible for receiving and curating the first samples returned from the Red Planet, will be located at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
In the previous plan, Curiosity conducted a preliminary assessment of the potential drill target "Encanto" (as seen in the above MAHLI image) and today we received the data.

Perseverance is a NASA autonomous vehicle that arrived at the Jezero Crater (the bed of an ancient, now dried-up lake on Mars) on 18 February 2021. The rover…
Yesterday's plan executed successfully including a short bump that placed us in front of an interesting block that may just contain our next drilled target!
Minerals are like a time capsule; they provide a record of what the environment was like at the time they formed.
Curiosity's science and engineering team members were back at it today after a holiday long weekend, while Curiosity itself was ready and waiting after its own soliday weekend.
We received the data that we had been missing during Wednesday's planning, so we hit the ground running today, ready to plan for contact science and our drive onto the Marker Band in this new location!
What do you see in the picture above - an abandoned lightsaber dropped by a Jedi Knight, lying forgotten amidst the Tattoine sand?
NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has acquired a new image using its high-resolution color camera.
The Martian meteorite Tissint contains a huge diversity of organic compounds, found an international team of researchers led by Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Munich's Philippe Schmitt-Kopplin and including Carnegie's Andrew Steele.
At this point in the mission, the team is very good at responding to tactical surprises.
We continue to characterize the Marker Band and the bedrock just below it, with the aim of understanding the origin of the Marker Band.
