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

.After completing the targeted and also connect with science, our experts're ready to drive. As the science group had opportunity to appear a little more at the information accumulated during that area, they uncovered this target that cost going back for. Our company are driving back to the place of the white colored stones to carry out more connect with scientific research on rocks that look identical to the important sulfur our team found earlier this year. Preparing ahead of time, I reached hunt this travel on Friday, outlining the safest road and also looking for parking locations that were each good for communications along with for carrying out get in touch with scientific research. The intended "Sheep Spring" concerns fifty meters (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a difficulty-- the settlement of our visuals at that assortment produces it harder to spot these small stones. Our team carry out possess definitely excellent imaging in that instructions, and the landscapes isn't extremely scary, so the Vagabond Planners are actually heading to attempt to create it in one travel. During the disk, our team will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" film (a series of graphics appearing below the wanderer for the whole entire length of the drive), which are going to aid record the stations. On the second sol of the program, our team perform some extra climatic and untargeted science. Our experts possess a Navcam suprahorizon flick (checking out the crater rim to evaluate dust in the environment) and also a dirt evil one film. Our company also have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover will autonomously decide on a target to photo. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" evaluation to confirm that the device is actually cleaned and also prepared for the next tasting project.
