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

.After concluding the targeted as well as connect with scientific research, our team prepare to steer. As the science staff had opportunity to look a bit more at the information gathered during that location, they found this target that deserved returning for. We are actually steering back to the place of the white stones to perform additional get in touch with science on stones that look similar to the important sulfur our team found previously this year. Planning ahead, I came to scout this drive on Friday, laying out the ideal road as well as searching for vehicle parking spots that were actually each great for communications along with for doing connect with scientific research. The aim at "Lambs Creek" has to do with fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the ride an obstacle-- the settlement of our photos at that assortment makes it more challenging to identify these small stones. Our team perform possess actually great image resolution because instructions, and also the landscapes isn't incredibly frightening, so the Rover Planners are going to make an effort to make it in one travel. During the course of the drive, we will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" motion picture (a collection of photos appearing listed below the vagabond for the whole duration of the drive), which will certainly help chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our experts perform some additional atmospheric and also untargeted science. We have a Navcam suprahorizon movie (taking a look at the hole edge to review dust in the ambience) and a dirt adversary motion picture. Our company additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the vagabond will autonomously choose a target to photo. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled tissue" study to affirm that the body is cleared out and also all set for the following sampling campaign.
