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

.After concluding the targeted and contact scientific research, our experts're ready to steer. As the scientific research group possessed opportunity to appear a little much more at the records accumulated in that region, they found this target that cost getting back for. Our company are actually driving back to the location of the white stones to carry out more call science on stones that appear similar to the elemental sulfur our company saw earlier this year. Preparation ahead of time, I reached look this travel on Friday, outlining the safest pathway and seeking parking locations that were actually both great for interactions in addition to for doing connect with science. The target "Lambs Spring" has to do with fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the travel a difficulty-- the resolution of our photos at that selection makes it harder to spot these little stones. We do have definitely great imaging in that path, as well as the terrain isn't incredibly frightening, so the Wanderer Planners are actually visiting attempt to make it in one ride. During the course of the disk, our experts will definitely be taking a MARDI "pavement" flick (a series of photos appearing below the rover for the whole entire span of the disk), which will assist chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our company do some added atmospherical and also untargeted science. Our team have a Navcam suprahorizon movie (checking out the crater edge to assess dirt in the environment) and also a dust devil flick. Our experts also possess a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the rover will autonomously decide on an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" review to verify that the system is actually cleaned out as well as all set for the next tasting campaign.
