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

.After wrapping up the targeted and also get in touch with scientific research, our experts're ready to drive. As the scientific research group possessed opportunity to look a bit much more at the data collected because area, they discovered this aim at that deserved going back for. We are actually steering back to the area of the white colored rocks to accomplish even more connect with science on rocks that look similar to the important sulfur our team found previously this year. Organizing ahead, I came to hunt this travel on Friday, outlining the most safe course as well as searching for vehicle parking locations that were actually each helpful for communications along with for performing get in touch with scientific research. The target "Sheep Creek" is about fifty gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride a challenge-- the settlement of our photos at that array produces it harder to determine these little rocks. Our company carry out have really good image resolution in that path, and also the terrain isn't super terrifying, so the Rover Planners are actually visiting try to create it in one travel. In the course of the disk, our company will be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" motion picture (a series of photos looking below the wanderer for the entire size of the disk), which will help chronicle the network. On the 2nd sol of the program, our company do some extra atmospherical as well as untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (considering the scar rim to evaluate dirt in the environment) and also a dust devil film. Our team additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the vagabond will autonomously pick a target to picture. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "vacant cell" review to validate that the system is cleared out and all set for the upcoming tasting project.
