Opportunity is located at the terrain feature called 'Spirit Mount' on the rim of Endeavour Crater, the first science waypoint of the 10th extended mission.
The rover has been positioned near a surface featured called 'Gasconade'. On Sol 4507 (Sept. 27, 2016), Opportunity performed a tiny turn-in-place to position the robotic arm work volume around the feature Gasconade.
With the turn complete, the rover also collected both Navigation Camera (Navcam) and Panoramic Camera (Pancam) panoramas.
Then on Sol 4509 (Sept. 29, 2016), Opportunity began a multi-sol in-situ (contact) campaign to investigate this new target.
The robotic arm was used to collect a Microscopic Imager (MI) mosaic of the target, then place the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on the same for a multi-hour integration.
Additional MI mosaics and new APXS offset placements were performed on Sols 4512 and 4514 (Oct. 2 and Oct. 4, 2016). Additionally, targeted multi-spectral images were collected on the surface targets.
As of Sol 4514 (Oct. 4, 2016), the solar array energy production is 472 watt-hours with an elevated atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.878 and a solar array dust factor of 0.706.
Total odometry is 26.99 miles (43.44 kilometers).
