Soldering Mastcam-Z flight hardware (2) Shaun Jordan is soldering a microchip on to the Mastcam-Z Digital Electronics Assembly board while looking through a microscope. This board will be placed inside the Mars 2020 rover. Beginning February 2021 it will store the Mastcam-Z images immediately after the camera takes pictures of the Martian landscape, sky, and the rover. MSSS / Elsa Jensen
