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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as connect with science, we prepare to steer. As the science staff possessed opportunity to look a little a lot more at the information gathered in that area, they uncovered this target that cost returning for. We are steering back to the place of the white rocks to accomplish more connect with science on rocks that appear comparable to the essential sulfur our company observed earlier this year. Organizing ahead, I got to hunt this drive on Friday, mapping out the most safe pathway as well as looking for auto parking areas that were both suitable for interactions along with for doing get in touch with science. The aim at "Lamb Spring" is about 50 gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride a problem-- the resolution of our photos at that selection creates it more challenging to pinpoint these tiny stones. Our company carry out have truly great image resolution because direction, and also the terrain isn't tremendously terrifying, so the Rover Planners are going to attempt to make it in one ride. During the course of the drive, we will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" motion picture (a series of images appearing below the vagabond for the entire size of the disk), which will help chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the planning, we perform some additional atmospherical as well as untargeted science. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (looking at the crater rim to analyze dust in the environment) and a dust devil flick. Our team additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer will autonomously pick a target to photo. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "unfilled cell" review to confirm that the system is cleared out and also ready for the upcoming tasting project.
