<p>Onwards & Upwards for Perseverance rover.</p><p>Judging by the wheel tracks in this roughly processed post-drive tiled-NavCam from Sol 1342, the drive direction to site 62.2066 appears to be close to west-southwest. The updated map and drive data (JSON) are unlikely to be released until after the holiday weekend, so I'll share the drive data and map as soon as they are available. </p><p>Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech</p><p><a href="/tags/mars/" rel="tag">#Mars</a> <a href="/tags/perseverance/" rel="tag">#Perseverance</a> <a href="/tags/marsrover/" rel="tag">#MarsRover</a> <a href="/tags/nasa/" rel="tag">#NASA</a> <a href="/tags/science/" rel="tag">#science</a> <a href="/tags/space/" rel="tag">#Space</a> <a href="/tags/exploration/" rel="tag">#Exploration</a> <a href="/tags/solarocks/" rel="tag">#Solarocks</a></p>
