I had a brief conversation with Ray today. I didn't learn anything Earth-shattering. A couple of details of interest here: they'll probably command the TEGA doors open about 2 sols before they try rasping and delivering in one day. They have to do a test run of the rasp, scoop, and prepare to deliver yet before they can try that. Also they want to do rasping and delivery in early morning, by 7 am local time, to keep temperatures low, which means they'll need a 2-sol plan in order to preheat the arm motors first.
AFM checkout is complete but now they're sort of calibrating, testing the distance of the AFM needle to the samples. Less than a week before the first sample.
Tosol they're going to do a 4 x 3 array of rasp samples, should look like a little grid of holes. Yestersol's was 1 x 2, like a "snakebite."
Oh, and how does he feel about yestersol's rasp test? "It was really sweet."
