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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as contact science, we're ready to drive. As the scientific research staff had opportunity to look a little bit even more at the data gathered in that area, they found this aim at that was worth getting back for. Our company are steering back to the area of the white colored stones to carry out even more contact science on stones that appear similar to the elemental sulfur we found earlier this year. Preparation ahead, I came to hunt this travel on Friday, setting out the most safe course and trying to find auto parking spots that were actually each great for communications along with for performing connect with scientific research. The aim at "Sheep Spring" has to do with fifty meters (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the ride a problem-- the resolution of our visuals at that variety produces it harder to spot these tiny stones. Our team perform possess truly great image resolution in that direction, and the landscapes isn't very terrifying, so the Vagabond Planners are going to try to produce it in one drive. During the disk, our experts will definitely be actually taking a MARDI "walkway" film (a collection of pictures appearing listed below the wanderer for the whole entire duration of the drive), which will certainly help chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our team perform some extra atmospherical as well as untargeted science. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (considering the scar edge to analyze dirt in the atmosphere) and also a dirt adversary movie. Our experts additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer will autonomously decide on a target to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "unfilled tissue" analysis to affirm that the device is actually cleaned and also prepared for the next sampling project.
