.Our experts are back ... nearly, anyways. Today's vehicle parking area is very near where our company parked on sol 4253, and also in a region near among the previous call science targets "Discovery Peak." You can read in this article that a lot of the crew, this blogger consisted of, resided in Pasadena for our group appointment when our experts were actually final around. That was July as well as Curiosity was about to turn 12 on Mars. Going back is an incredibly uncommon event and is regularly intended properly. Once or twice during the course of the final 12 years it took place considering that our experts found one thing "in the back mirror." One of the instances is actually the aim at "Old Soaker," where our company detected mud splits in the photos coming from a previous parking posture, as well as quickly got back given that this was such a significant discovery. At other opportunities it was actually very carefully organized, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily see in this particular video from as long back as Planet year 2015. Over the last handful of preparation cycles, it is actually more of the latter as our company created our means coming from Discovery Peak, where our experts were on sol 4253, "Merely going through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also arriving at "Kings Canyon," our drill site, which our experts reached on sol 4257. You can adhere to all the activity of the drilling at Kings Gulch on the blogs. It took an although-- it constantly does-- due to the fact that it's an activity with many steps as well as inspections to finish. Our company really celebrated Inquisitiveness's 12th special day at Kings Canyon! Our company departed on sol 4283, came back using "Sanctuary Peak," as well as are actually now near the Revelation Peak place again. After that little walkabout by means of the background of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, specifically the incredibly final one, let's check out today's plan.
