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

.After concluding the targeted and get in touch with science, our experts prepare to drive. As the scientific research crew had time to appear a bit more at the records gathered because area, they discovered this intended that cost getting back for. Our team are actually steering back to the area of the white colored stones to carry out even more call scientific research on rocks that appear identical to the important sulfur our company viewed earlier this year. Preparing ahead, I reached hunt this drive on Friday, laying out the most safe pathway as well as looking for auto parking spots that were each good for interactions as well as for carrying out contact scientific research. The target "Lambs Spring" concerns 50 meters (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the drive an obstacle-- the resolution of our visuals at that selection makes it more challenging to spot these tiny stones. Our experts perform have definitely great image resolution in that direction, and also the terrain isn't incredibly frightening, so the Wanderer Planners are mosting likely to make an effort to create it in one drive. In the course of the drive, our team will certainly be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" movie (a series of images appearing listed below the rover for the entire span of the disk), which will definitely help record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our experts carry out some added atmospheric as well as untargeted scientific research. Our experts possess a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (taking a look at the scar edge to assess dust in the environment) and a dirt evil one motion picture. Our team also have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover is going to autonomously pick an aim at to graphic. Overnight, CheMin does an "unfilled tissue" review to verify that the device is actually cleaned out as well as all set for the following sampling campaign.
