After reporting a while back that the SHERLOC instrument was inoperable due to a stuck, half-open dust cover, it seems that we’re back in business, based on the latest images from Sol 1076 (29 Feb 2024).

I’m not sure if the engineering team will decide to leave the dust cover open, but I do know that the science team could really, really use SHERLOC, which can (and has) identified organic molecules in the rocks, including the samples we’ve collected. With Ingenuity losing its “wings”, we can all use good news from Jezero!
