Notes to Rover Team:
1. Sequence given to flight engineer ??
2. Gyro turns off and diff disabled during minor moves
3. Y accel enabled
4. Conditional APX deploy, try to get half-dome in current position, if miss than backup 10cm and try again.
5. Conditional APXS night operations only if we make contact with Halfdome
6. Rear APX image expanded to try to see crevice next to right rear wheel
7. Two MAEs performed on Sol 55, at 12:00 (in SOL 54 sequence) and at 14:00
8. Night MAE performed at SOL 56 03:00
9. Overnight health checks mostly taken care of by APX wakeup, but add one extra wakeup at SOL 56 05:00
10. Conditional APXS scheduled from 14:00 - 19:00 and again from 22:00 - 03:00
11. Battery usage for modem heating always disabled
12. Modem heating always disabled (relying on auto modem reheat)
13. Sequence has runout until morning of Sol 61.
14. Sequence nominally aborted on Sol 56, at 11:15 MLST.
15. Only IMP S0055 imaging requested.
