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

.After completing the targeted and also get in touch with science, we're ready to steer. As the scientific research crew possessed time to appear a little a lot more at the records accumulated during that region, they uncovered this intended that deserved getting back for. Our company are driving back to the region of the white stones to accomplish additional contact scientific research on stones that look identical to the essential sulfur our team viewed previously this year. Planning ahead of time, I reached look this travel on Friday, outlining the ideal course and also trying to find parking places that were both good for communications and also for carrying out call scientific research. The intended "Lambs Creek" is about fifty meters (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the drive a problem-- the settlement of our imagery at that variety creates it tougher to figure out these little stones. Our experts do have really good imaging during that instructions, and the terrain isn't extremely distressing, so the Vagabond Planners are actually mosting likely to attempt to produce it in one drive. During the disk, our experts will be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a collection of graphics looking listed below the vagabond for the entire size of the drive), which are going to assist record the network. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our experts perform some additional atmospherical and also untargeted science. We have a Navcam suprahorizon movie (checking out the hole rim to examine dust in the environment) and also a dust devil movie. Our experts likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the vagabond will autonomously pick a target to photo. Overnight, CheMin performs an "vacant tissue" review to affirm that the device is cleaned out and also ready for the following tasting initiative.
