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

.After wrapping up the targeted and also call science, our experts prepare to drive. As the scientific research group had time to look a bit extra at the information picked up because region, they found this target that was worth going back for. Our experts are driving back to the location of the white rocks to accomplish even more get in touch with science on rocks that appear identical to the essential sulfur our company saw previously this year. Organizing ahead, I came to hunt this drive on Friday, setting out the best road as well as trying to find parking areas that were actually both suitable for communications along with for doing contact science. The intended "Lamb Spring" concerns fifty gauges (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the ride an obstacle-- the settlement of our imagery at that selection creates it more difficult to pinpoint these little rocks. Our experts carry out possess truly excellent imaging during that instructions, and the landscapes isn't tremendously scary, so the Rover Planners are actually visiting attempt to make it in one drive. In the course of the disk, our team will be taking a MARDI "pavement" flick (a set of images appearing below the wanderer for the entire length of the disk), which are going to help record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the program, our experts perform some added atmospheric and also untargeted science. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (taking a look at the crater edge to analyze dust in the ambience) and a dust devil film. Our company additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer will autonomously choose an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "empty tissue" evaluation to confirm that the body is actually cleaned as well as prepared for the upcoming sampling initiative.
