The lab is progressing well. The photo stand camera is calibrated and running smoothly. The core scanner is almost at its ideal operating conditions and should be running most of day soon. At the drill site the science team are still logging basalt and are at 1492 meters (4895 ft) deep as of 13:45 hours. The basalt still has a white mineral vesicle fill. We hope to reach rhyolite soon, cross your fingers.
