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

.After completing the targeted and also get in touch with science, our company prepare to drive. As the science team had opportunity to appear a little extra at the information collected in that region, they uncovered this target that cost getting back for. Our company are actually steering back to the area of the white colored stones to do more connect with scientific research on stones that appear identical to the elemental sulfur we observed earlier this year. Preparation ahead of time, I got to search this travel on Friday, setting out the most safe path and searching for parking places that were actually both great for communications and also for carrying out get in touch with scientific research. The aim at "Sheep Spring" concerns fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a problem-- the settlement of our images at that variation creates it harder to determine these small stones. We do possess truly excellent image resolution in that path, and the landscapes isn't super frightful, so the Rover Planners are actually visiting attempt to produce it in one drive. During the course of the drive, our company will certainly be taking a MARDI "pathway" film (a series of images appearing below the vagabond for the entire size of the drive), which will aid record the network. On the second sol of the strategy, we do some added atmospheric and also untargeted scientific research. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (checking out the hole rim to review dust in the setting) as well as a dust adversary motion picture. Our company likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond will autonomously pick an aim at to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty tissue" study to confirm that the body is actually cleared out and also ready for the next testing campaign.
