Sols 4314-4315: Hang around, What Was Actually That Back There?

.After finishing up the targeted and connect with science, our team're ready to drive. As the scientific research group possessed time to look a bit a lot more at the data picked up in that location, they found this target that cost going back for. We are actually driving back to the region of the white colored rocks to accomplish even more contact science on rocks that look similar to the essential sulfur our experts observed earlier this year. Planning ahead of time, I reached hunt this travel on Friday, outlining the safest road as well as searching for auto parking areas that were each suitable for interactions as well as for carrying out connect with science. The target "Lambs Creek" concerns fifty meters (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the drive an obstacle-- the resolution of our images at that variety produces it harder to spot these little stones. We carry out have really good image resolution in that path, as well as the landscapes isn't incredibly frightful, so the Rover Planners are actually mosting likely to make an effort to produce it in one ride. Throughout the disk, our team are going to be taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a collection of pictures appearing listed below the rover for the whole span of the drive), which will definitely assist document the stations. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our company do some additional atmospherical as well as untargeted scientific research. We have a Navcam suprahorizon film (considering the crater edge to examine dust in the environment) and a dirt adversary flick. Our experts likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer is going to autonomously select an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "unfilled cell" review to confirm that the body is cleaned out and all set for the next tasting initiative.
