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

.After concluding the targeted as well as contact science, we prepare to drive. As the science crew had time to look a little bit more at the information gathered because location, they discovered this intended that deserved getting back for. Our team are actually steering back to the location of the white stones to accomplish even more get in touch with scientific research on rocks that appear comparable to the essential sulfur our experts found earlier this year. Organizing ahead, I came to hunt this travel on Friday, setting out the safest road and also looking for vehicle parking locations that were actually both helpful for interactions as well as for doing connect with science. The target "Lambs Creek" has to do with 50 gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the drive an obstacle-- the resolution of our imagery at that variation makes it more difficult to determine these tiny rocks. Our team perform possess truly good image resolution in that direction, as well as the terrain isn't extremely frightening, so the Rover Planners are actually visiting attempt to produce it in one ride. During the drive, our company are going to be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" movie (a series of graphics looking below the vagabond for the whole entire duration of the disk), which will definitely help record the network. On the second sol of the planning, we carry out some extra atmospheric and untargeted scientific research. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (taking a look at the scar rim to examine dust in the environment) and also a dust devil motion picture. Our company additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer is going to autonomously select an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "empty tissue" review to confirm that the body is actually cleaned out and prepared for the following testing campaign.
