Sols 4314-4315: Wait, What Was That Back There?

.After concluding the targeted as well as get in touch with science, our team prepare to drive. As the scientific research team had opportunity to look a bit much more at the records gathered in that region, they found this target that deserved going back for. Our company are steering back to the region of the white stones to do more connect with science on rocks that look identical to the important sulfur our team viewed earlier this year. Planning ahead of time, I got to look this ride on Friday, mapping out the most safe path and trying to find vehicle parking locations that were each helpful for interactions as well as for performing call scientific research. The target "Sheep Creek" is about fifty meters (about 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the drive an obstacle-- the settlement of our images at that assortment makes it harder to pinpoint these tiny stones. Our team do have definitely good imaging in that instructions, and the surface isn't very terrifying, so the Rover Planners are actually going to attempt to produce it in one ride. In the course of the drive, we will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" motion picture (a collection of pictures looking below the vagabond for the entire length of the disk), which will certainly aid record the network. On the second sol of the program, our experts carry out some extra atmospherical and untargeted science. Our team have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (considering the scar rim to examine dust in the ambience) as well as a dirt devil movie. We also possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer will autonomously decide on an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "vacant cell" study to verify that the body is actually cleaned and prepared for the following tasting initiative.
