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

.After wrapping up the targeted as well as get in touch with science, our company prepare to drive. As the scientific research group possessed opportunity to look a little bit much more at the records accumulated during that area, they uncovered this intended that was worth going back for. Our experts are steering back to the region of the white stones to do more connect with science on stones that look identical to the important sulfur we saw previously this year. Preparation in advance, I reached search this drive on Friday, setting out the best pathway and also seeking car parking areas that were each suitable for communications along with for performing call science. The aim at "Lamb Creek" is about 50 gauges (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the drive a problem-- the resolution of our photos at that variety makes it harder to determine these little rocks. Our company perform possess really good imaging because direction, and also the surface isn't very frightful, so the Rover Planners are visiting try to produce it in one travel. During the course of the drive, we will definitely be taking a MARDI "pathway" movie (a set of graphics appearing listed below the vagabond for the whole span of the drive), which will assist record the network. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our team perform some extra atmospheric and untargeted science. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon flick (considering the scar rim to evaluate dust in the atmosphere) and also a dirt devil flick. Our company also have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover is going to autonomously decide on an aim at to picture. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty tissue" analysis to validate that the body is cleared out and ready for the upcoming testing project.
