.Our team are back ... almost, anyways. Today's vehicle parking site is actually extremely close to where our company positioned on sol 4253, and in a place near one of the previous call science targets "Exploration Peak." You can easily read within this blog post that most of the staff, this blog writer consisted of, was in Pasadena for our crew appointment when our experts were actually final in this field. That was July and also Interest was about to switch 12 on Mars. Coming back is an incredibly rare event and also is regularly considered properly. Once or twice during the final 12 years it happened due to the fact that our team found one thing "in the rear mirror." Among the instances is actually the aim at "Old Soaker," where we detected mud fractures in the images from a previous vehicle parking posture, and quickly got back given that this was such an essential revelation. At other times it was meticulously planned, like the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily watch within this video coming from as long back as Planet year 2015. In the past handful of preparing cycles, it is actually more of the second as our experts made our means from Invention Pinnacle, where we got on sol 4253, "Merely passing through" "Russell Successfully pass" and getting to "Kings Canyon," our drill location, which our team met on sol 4257. You can easily comply with all the activity of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the blog posts. It took an although-- it regularly does-- because it's a task along with numerous measures as well as investigations to finish. Our team actually celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Gulch! We departed on sol 4283, returned using "Cathedral Top," as well as are right now near the Revelation Epitome place once more. After that little bit of hike by means of the background of (some) of Interest's hikes, especially the really last one, permit's look at today's planning.
