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

.After concluding the targeted as well as call science, we're ready to drive. As the science team possessed time to look a bit extra at the data accumulated during that area, they discovered this aim at that deserved getting back for. Our team are driving back to the region of the white stones to carry out even more connect with science on rocks that appear comparable to the essential sulfur our team viewed previously this year. Organizing ahead, I got to scout this ride on Friday, laying out the safest road and also seeking car park places that were each great for communications as well as for carrying out connect with scientific research. The target "Sheep Creek" concerns 50 meters (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a challenge-- the settlement of our imagery at that variation makes it more difficult to identify these small stones. We carry out possess really excellent image resolution because instructions, as well as the landscapes isn't incredibly scary, so the Vagabond Planners are mosting likely to try to create it in one ride. During the course of the disk, our company will certainly be taking a MARDI "walkway" motion picture (a collection of graphics looking below the vagabond for the whole entire span of the disk), which are going to aid record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our company carry out some extra climatic as well as untargeted science. Our team have a Navcam suprahorizon film (taking a look at the crater rim to examine dust in the environment) as well as a dust devil film. We additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover is going to autonomously decide on an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "empty tissue" analysis to validate that the system is actually cleared out and also prepared for the upcoming tasting initiative.
