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

.After wrapping up the targeted and also connect with science, our experts're ready to drive. As the science group possessed time to appear a little bit extra at the information picked up in that area, they discovered this target that cost going back for. Our experts are actually steering back to the location of the white stones to accomplish additional contact science on rocks that appear identical to the important sulfur we saw previously this year. Organizing ahead of time, I reached look this ride on Friday, laying out the best course and searching for car park places that were each suitable for interactions along with for carrying out contact science. The target "Lambs Creek" is about 50 meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the ride a difficulty-- the resolution of our photos at that variety produces it harder to pinpoint these tiny rocks. We perform possess definitely excellent image resolution during that path, and the surface isn't extremely scary, so the Wanderer Planners are actually visiting attempt to produce it in one ride. During the drive, our experts are going to be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" film (a collection of images appearing listed below the wanderer for the whole length of the drive), which will certainly assist record the channel. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our team do some extra atmospherical as well as untargeted science. We have a Navcam suprahorizon film (examining the sinkhole edge to examine dirt in the ambience) and a dust devil motion picture. We additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the wanderer is going to autonomously pick a target to picture. Overnight, CheMin does an "unfilled tissue" analysis to validate that the device is cleaned and all set for the next sampling initiative.
