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

.After concluding the targeted as well as get in touch with scientific research, our team prepare to drive. As the scientific research staff possessed opportunity to look a little bit a lot more at the data collected during that area, they uncovered this aim at that was worth getting back for. Our experts are steering back to the location of the white colored stones to carry out even more connect with scientific research on stones that look similar to the essential sulfur we saw earlier this year. Planning ahead of time, I reached scout this ride on Friday, setting out the best pathway as well as searching for car park places that were actually each helpful for interactions as well as for carrying out call scientific research. The intended "Lambs Spring" has to do with fifty gauges (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the travel a difficulty-- the settlement of our photos at that range creates it harder to determine these little stones. Our experts carry out have definitely great image resolution because path, and also the landscapes isn't very frightful, so the Vagabond Planners are going to make an effort to make it in one drive. Throughout the drive, our experts will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" film (a set of graphics appearing below the rover for the entire duration of the disk), which will definitely assist record the network. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our experts carry out some extra atmospherical and untargeted science. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon movie (taking a look at the scar edge to analyze dirt in the setting) and a dust evil one film. We likewise possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the rover will autonomously choose a target to graphic. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty cell" analysis to verify that the device is actually cleaned out and also ready for the following testing campaign.
