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

.After wrapping up the targeted and get in touch with scientific research, our experts prepare to steer. As the scientific research group had time to look a little bit a lot more at the data picked up in that region, they discovered this aim at that was worth getting back for. Our team are steering back to the place of the white colored stones to do additional get in touch with scientific research on rocks that appear similar to the elemental sulfur our company found previously this year. Preparation ahead, I reached search this drive on Friday, outlining the ideal pathway as well as seeking car park locations that were each great for interactions and also for doing connect with science. The aim at "Sheep Creek" has to do with 50 meters (about 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the drive a difficulty-- the settlement of our imagery at that selection produces it harder to determine these small stones. Our team perform possess definitely excellent image resolution because path, and the surface isn't incredibly scary, so the Wanderer Planners are actually visiting make an effort to produce it in one ride. During the course of the disk, our experts will be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" film (a series of images appearing below the vagabond for the entire length of the drive), which will help record the network. On the 2nd sol of the plan, we perform some additional atmospherical and also untargeted scientific research. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon film (taking a look at the scar rim to assess dust in the environment) and a dirt devil motion picture. We likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the vagabond will autonomously select an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin does an "vacant tissue" study to validate that the system is cleaned and ready for the upcoming testing project.
