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

.After completing the targeted as well as connect with science, our company're ready to drive. As the science staff possessed opportunity to appear a little more at the records picked up during that area, they found this intended that was worth getting back for. Our experts are actually driving back to the area of the white colored rocks to carry out even more contact scientific research on rocks that look identical to the essential sulfur our team observed earlier this year. Organizing in advance, I came to search this drive on Friday, mapping out the best pathway as well as seeking vehicle parking spots that were each helpful for communications along with for performing call scientific research. The aim at "Sheep Creek" is about fifty meters (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the travel a challenge-- the resolution of our imagery at that assortment makes it tougher to pinpoint these small rocks. Our company carry out possess definitely excellent imaging in that instructions, and also the terrain isn't extremely distressing, so the Vagabond Planners are actually visiting attempt to create it in one drive. Throughout the drive, our team will be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" film (a collection of graphics appearing below the rover for the whole span of the drive), which will assist record the network. On the second sol of the plan, our experts perform some extra climatic and untargeted scientific research. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon film (taking a look at the scar edge to assess dust in the ambience) as well as a dirt evil one motion picture. Our team additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the wanderer will autonomously choose an aim at to picture. Overnight, CheMin does an "unfilled tissue" analysis to affirm that the device is actually cleared out as well as prepared for the next sampling campaign.
