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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as connect with science, our experts're ready to steer. As the scientific research staff possessed opportunity to appear a little more at the information collected in that area, they discovered this target that was worth getting back for. Our team are actually steering back to the area of the white colored rocks to do even more connect with scientific research on stones that appear similar to the elemental sulfur our team found earlier this year. Organizing ahead of time, I got to hunt this drive on Friday, laying out the safest road and also searching for vehicle parking spots that were both good for communications in addition to for carrying out call science. The target "Lambs Spring" has to do with fifty gauges (concerning 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the ride a challenge-- the settlement of our imagery at that selection makes it harder to spot these tiny stones. Our experts do have definitely good imaging in that instructions, and the terrain isn't very terrifying, so the Rover Planners are actually going to make an effort to create it in one drive. Throughout the disk, our team are going to be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" flick (a series of photos appearing listed below the vagabond for the whole entire length of the drive), which are going to assist document the network. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our company perform some added climatic as well as untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (considering the hole rim to review dust in the atmosphere) and a dirt evil one motion picture. Our company likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond will autonomously select an intended to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "vacant tissue" analysis to validate that the unit is cleaned and all set for the next sampling initiative.
