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

.After concluding the targeted as well as connect with scientific research, our company prepare to drive. As the scientific research team possessed opportunity to look a bit much more at the information collected because location, they found this intended that deserved returning for. We are steering back to the place of the white colored rocks to carry out additional get in touch with science on stones that appear comparable to the important sulfur we observed earlier this year. Preparation ahead, I got to search this ride on Friday, mapping out the most safe path as well as searching for parking areas that were both great for interactions in addition to for carrying out contact scientific research. The intended "Lamb Creek" concerns 50 gauges (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride a difficulty-- the settlement of our photos at that variety creates it more difficult to pinpoint these tiny rocks. We carry out have really good image resolution in that direction, and the terrain isn't extremely frightful, so the Vagabond Planners are actually visiting try to create it in one ride. During the disk, our experts will be taking a MARDI "pathway" motion picture (a collection of images appearing below the vagabond for the whole entire size of the drive), which will certainly aid record the channel. On the second sol of the planning, we carry out some additional atmospheric as well as untargeted science. Our experts possess a Navcam suprahorizon flick (checking out the scar edge to review dirt in the setting) and a dirt devil motion picture. We also have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond is going to autonomously select a target to image. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "vacant cell" review to confirm that the body is actually cleaned and all set for the upcoming sampling project.
