The drive to the south was over 2 sols, but needing only one command from the rover team.

The drive ended with a good tilt for the rover of 18.63°, this can be seen in the rotation of the pair of distant hills on the horizon.

There was also a good climb during the drive of 22.8 m (74.8 ft).

There's been a third drive on sol 1578. That looks shorter, but we have little data on that at the moment, so I'll report on that as more data is received
