00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:06,789
hi i'm jessica samuels member of the

2
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:08,639
engineering operations team and this is

3
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:20,310
so since the nail biting entry descent

4
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:22,240
and landing event we're happy to report

5
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:24,880
that curiosity is healthy and clicking

6
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:26,800
off all the activities that we asked her

7
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:28,840
to perform for the first few days on the

8
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:31,599
surface we first deployed the high gain

9
00:00:36,389 --> 00:00:34,559
antenna to facilitate communications

10
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,399
back to earth so that we can communicate

11
00:00:40,709 --> 00:00:38,719
with curiosity much more efficiently

12
00:00:43,030 --> 00:00:40,719
we've deployed the remote sensing mast

13
00:00:46,389 --> 00:00:43,040
so we can start acquiring our beautiful

14
00:00:48,790 --> 00:00:46,399
panoramic images and we've also checked

15
00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,800
out what the state of the rover is by

16
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:50,719
looking at ourselves in addition to the

17
00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:52,399
martian landscape

18
00:00:57,350 --> 00:00:54,239
we were happy to find that we weren't

19
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:57,360
covered in a large amount of dust as

20
00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,199
some members of the team thought might

21
00:01:04,229 --> 00:01:01,920
happen in actuality we just have some of

22
00:01:05,509 --> 00:01:04,239
these pebbles that have strewned the

23
00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:05,519
rover deck

24
00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:08,000
with just a fine fine layer of dust

25
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:09,920
which is well within the operating

26
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:12,960
limits of the rover so coming up we're

27
00:01:17,190 --> 00:01:14,400
going to give the rover a brain

28
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:17,200
transplant we're wiping away all of the

29
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:19,200
cruise and entry descent and landing

30
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:21,280
software and making room for the

31
00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:23,280
software needed to perform the exciting

32
00:01:28,469 --> 00:01:25,600
portions of the surface mission ahead

33
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:28,479
we're giving the rover the capability to

34
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:30,960
do the sampling portion of the mission

35
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:32,880
as well as being able to drive more

36
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:34,799
efficiently to different targets on the

37
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:36,320
surface

38
00:01:40,469 --> 00:01:38,159
while we're doing the software upgrade

39
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,479
we'll still be sending images from the

40
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:42,880
entry descent and landing event as well

41
00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:46,000
as different images from the panoramas

42
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:47,840
that will give us a view of what the

43
00:01:52,870 --> 00:01:50,560
landscape looks like around the rover
