The first Sol on Mars saw a successful touchdown of the rocket and deployment of the rovers.
Construction began with a solar array, power cables and concrete extraction facility. With an immediate supply of surface metal deposits, the rovers were able to build a power windmill before the end of the day.
The Commander chose to use funding to increase research capacity from Earth, allowing an additional 2,000 research points for the next 5 Sols. With this gain in research, Explorer AI was successfully accomplished. This allows our Explorer Rover to add 100 research points to the effort each Sol. Research is a key to success.
