Title: ChemCam activities and discoveries during the nominal mission of the Mars Science Laboratory in Gale crater, Mars

Abstract

At Gale crater, Mars, ChemCam acquired its first laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) target on Sol 13 of the landed portion of the mission (a Sol is a Mars day).
