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

.After finishing up the targeted and contact scientific research, we're ready to steer. As the science group had time to look a little even more at the records accumulated during that location, they discovered this aim at that deserved going back for. Our experts are steering back to the area of the white stones to carry out more get in touch with science on stones that look identical to the elemental sulfur we viewed previously this year. Planning ahead of time, I reached search this drive on Friday, laying out the safest road and also looking for parking spots that were each great for interactions in addition to for doing get in touch with science. The intended "Lambs Spring" concerns fifty meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a difficulty-- the resolution of our imagery at that variation creates it more difficult to spot these small rocks. We perform have really great image resolution during that direction, and the terrain isn't incredibly frightening, so the Vagabond Planners are heading to try to make it in one travel. During the drive, our experts will be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" flick (a collection of graphics appearing below the rover for the whole entire size of the disk), which are going to help record the channel. On the second sol of the program, we carry out some added climatic as well as untargeted science. We have a Navcam suprahorizon film (examining the crater rim to evaluate dust in the setting) and a dirt adversary flick. Our company additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the vagabond is going to autonomously select an intended to image. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty tissue" review to verify that the system is actually cleaned out as well as prepared for the upcoming tasting campaign.
