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

.After concluding the targeted and also call science, our company prepare to drive. As the science group had time to look a little more at the records picked up because location, they found this target that deserved going back for. Our experts are driving back to the location of the white colored rocks to accomplish additional get in touch with scientific research on stones that look similar to the essential sulfur our company viewed earlier this year. Preparing ahead of time, I came to hunt this drive on Friday, outlining the ideal pathway and trying to find car parking spots that were each helpful for communications as well as for carrying out contact scientific research. The target "Lambs Creek" is about 50 gauges (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the ride a challenge-- the settlement of our visuals at that range creates it harder to figure out these small rocks. Our team carry out have really excellent imaging because path, and also the landscapes isn't very distressing, so the Vagabond Planners are actually mosting likely to make an effort to create it in one ride. During the disk, our team will be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" film (a series of pictures looking listed below the wanderer for the entire span of the disk), which will certainly assist record the stations. On the second sol of the planning, our company carry out some additional atmospheric and untargeted scientific research. Our team have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (looking at the crater edge to examine dust in the setting) as well as a dust devil flick. Our team likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer is going to autonomously choose an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" review to validate that the system is cleaned and also prepared for the next testing initiative.
