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

.After wrapping up the targeted as well as get in touch with science, our company're ready to drive. As the scientific research team possessed time to look a little extra at the records collected because location, they found this intended that cost returning for. Our team are driving back to the region of the white rocks to do more connect with scientific research on rocks that look identical to the elemental sulfur we viewed earlier this year. Organizing ahead of time, I got to search this ride on Friday, setting out the most safe path and also searching for vehicle parking locations that were each good for communications in addition to for carrying out connect with science. The intended "Lambs Creek" has to do with fifty meters (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the ride a challenge-- the settlement of our visuals at that range creates it tougher to determine these tiny stones. Our experts perform possess really good imaging in that direction, as well as the landscapes isn't extremely scary, so the Rover Planners are visiting try to produce it in one drive. Throughout the drive, our company will certainly be taking a MARDI "pathway" flick (a set of photos appearing listed below the rover for the entire span of the drive), which will aid record the stations. On the second sol of the planning, we do some added atmospherical and untargeted science. We possess a Navcam suprahorizon film (examining the hole rim to examine dirt in the atmosphere) as well as a dirt devil motion picture. We additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the rover is going to autonomously pick an intended to photo. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "unfilled tissue" study to confirm that the device is cleaned and also ready for the following sampling campaign.
