Sols 4314-4315: Stand by, What Was That Back There?

.After completing the targeted and also get in touch with scientific research, our experts prepare to steer. As the science staff possessed opportunity to appear a bit even more at the data gathered during that area, they found this aim at that deserved going back for. Our experts are steering back to the area of the white colored rocks to do even more call scientific research on stones that look identical to the essential sulfur our company observed previously this year. Preparing in advance, I came to look this ride on Friday, outlining the most safe pathway as well as looking for car parking spots that were actually both good for interactions in addition to for carrying out connect with scientific research. The target "Lambs Spring" concerns fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a difficulty-- the resolution of our visuals at that variation produces it more challenging to determine these tiny stones. Our team carry out have really great image resolution in that instructions, and the surface isn't very scary, so the Vagabond Planners are actually visiting try to produce it in one drive. In the course of the disk, our team are going to be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" motion picture (a collection of photos appearing listed below the vagabond for the entire length of the drive), which are going to help chronicle the stations. On the second sol of the strategy, our company perform some additional atmospheric and also untargeted scientific research. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (looking at the crater edge to assess dust in the atmosphere) as well as a dust adversary motion picture. We additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the rover will autonomously decide on an intended to photo. Overnight, CheMin does an "empty cell" analysis to confirm that the unit is actually cleaned and also prepared for the next sampling initiative.
