Notes to Rover Team (SEQUENCE 52220B):
1. APXS_DLIM WAS NOT SET APPROPRIATELY IN 52210B TO ALLOW FOR DRIVING WITH THE APXS PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. THIS PREVENTED TERMINAL POSITIONING OF THE ROVER ON SOUFFLE.
2. SEQUENCE 52220B WAS GENERATED TO PERFORM THE REST OF 52210B DURING SOL 22. THE CHANGES FROM 52210B WERE:
   • Set Vehicle Position command was removed.
   • Initial vehicle turn (which executed successfully in 52210B) was removed.
   • APXS was fully retracted before the partial deployments.
   • The APXS driving limit was set to -850 counts
   • Heating of the modem before imaging (which now will occur in the afternoon) was removed.
3. If 55220B executes as planned, before the scheduled rover shutdown at 14:04, then the only consequence to the planned sequence will be some lost accumulation time on the APXS.


Notes to Rover Team (SEQUENCE 52210B):

1. Sequence delivered to Sequence Flight Engineer (Mittman/Salvo)
2. The APXS rock target Souffle is only ~15 cm tall, making it a problemmatic target. Due to the presence of a second rock in the immediate vicinity, there is a high-centering threat if the rover's orientation is off.
3. To ensure rover safety, final positioning occurs at risk level 0.
4. In addition, to prevent overshoot (and possible drive-up on the rock), the nominal Position APXS command has been replaced with a short Move command. The APXS is partially deployed, the move is executed, and a further deployment of the APXS is attempted.
5. NOTE: IF EXECUTION IS NOMINAL, ERROR REPORTS WILL BE GENERATED BY THE FIRST APXS DEPLOYMENT, AND BY THE TERMINATION OF THE MOVE COMMAND ON CONTACT.
