Opportunity is continuing the exploration of "Perseverance Valley" on the west rim of Endeavour Crater.
The rover is positioned about halfway down the approximately 656 feet (200 meter) valley. Opportunity is continuing the imaging survey at each rover location within the valley. In addition to both Navigation Camera (Navcam) and Panoramic Camera (Pancam) panoramas, targeted Pancam multi-spectral images are also being collected.
Sols 5020 and 5021 (March 8 and 9, 2018) saw Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) integrations on the target "Guanajuato" and there was an APXS Argon on Sol 5022 (March 10, 2018).
On Sol 5023 (March 11, 2018) we drove away to our next target where we did a Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) brush on Sol 5025 (March 13, 2018) in anticipation of a grind on target "Aguas Calientes." A Microscopic Imager (MI) mosaic was also taken.
As of Sol 5025 (March 13, 2018), the solar array energy production was 679 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.474 and a solar array dust factor of 0.861.
Total odometry is 28.04 miles (45.12 kilometers).
