The team operating NASAs Curiosity Mars rover is telling the rover to use several tools this weekend to inspect a sandstone slab being evaluated as a possible drilling target. If this target meets criteria set by engineers and scientists, it could become the missions third drilled rock, and the first that is not mudstone. The team calls it Windjana, after a gorge in Western Australia. The Deep Space Network provides communication and tracking services to NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover. nasa.gov/jpl/msl/curiosity-20140425/index.html
