New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1148, RMC 52.2540
The rover is now approaching the most difficult part of the descent, but apparently it has no problem negotiating the steep slope at a slower pace.
The maps show the estimated new location along with the guessed drive path and a number of predictions for its coming drives. It seems it will reach Bright Angel sometime between Sol 1156 and 1160, assuming no pauses.
And here is a possible path to the next stop, a point where the two alternatives, one through the nearby ripples and the other along the rocky riverbank, will start to be more visible.
