Meanwhile of Mars:
An animation of three MastCam images from Curiosity rover from June 8, 2025 (Sol 4564) shows a portion test where small amounts of powdered rock from sample hole 43, is carefully dropped onto the closed port of the SAM instrument suite. If the team are happy with this test, they will command the rover to open the cover and drop a portion inside SAM for detailed analysis.
