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

.After completing the targeted and also connect with science, our team're ready to steer. As the science staff possessed opportunity to appear a little even more at the records collected during that location, they found this target that was worth getting back for. We are actually driving back to the place of the white stones to do additional connect with scientific research on rocks that look similar to the important sulfur our company found previously this year. Organizing in advance, I got to search this ride on Friday, setting out the ideal path as well as seeking vehicle parking spots that were actually each great for interactions and also for performing call scientific research. The target "Lamb Creek" concerns fifty gauges (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the drive an obstacle-- the settlement of our photos at that assortment makes it more difficult to spot these small rocks. We carry out have actually good imaging because path, and also the surface isn't very scary, so the Rover Planners are actually heading to try to make it in one drive. During the course of the disk, our team are going to be taking a MARDI "walkway" flick (a set of pictures looking listed below the rover for the whole size of the drive), which are going to help record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the planning, we carry out some extra atmospheric and also untargeted scientific research. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (considering the sinkhole edge to evaluate dirt in the environment) and also a dust evil one film. Our team additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond will autonomously pick an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty tissue" analysis to confirm that the device is cleared out as well as prepared for the next tasting initiative.
