Telecon tomorrow

NASA/JPL-Caltech
There will be yet another teleconference tomorrow hosted by NASA at 1900hrs GMT tomorrow (15/11/2012). As usual you can listen to the telecon over at NASA's site or via JPL's ustream channel. This announcement follows news on the successful ingesting of a sample of Martian regolith by the SAM instrument which is now currently analysing the soil with it's 3 different spectrometers (mass, gas and laser spectrometers). The instrument's first analyses of the air show that the instrument works perfectly and it's now all a matter of improving the its sensitivity for trace chemicals in a sample.

I'm not sure if this conference will talk about SAM. We shall see tomorrow.
