    ChemCam

    ChemCam uses a laser to vaporize materials in an area of 1 millimeter or smaller and analyzes their chemical composition with a spectrograph. The instrument consists of a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) and a Remote Micro-Imager (RMI). Chemcam has taken several passive spectral measurements of the sky during the MSL mission. A timetable indicating when these measurements were taken is included below.
