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

.After wrapping up the targeted and contact science, our team're ready to steer. As the scientific research crew possessed opportunity to look a little even more at the information gathered during that location, they uncovered this intended that cost going back for. Our company are steering back to the place of the white stones to perform more call science on rocks that look comparable to the important sulfur our team viewed previously this year. Organizing ahead, I got to search this drive on Friday, laying out the most safe road and also trying to find car park spots that were actually both good for interactions along with for carrying out call science. The aim at "Lambs Spring" is about 50 gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the drive a difficulty-- the settlement of our imagery at that range creates it more difficult to identify these little rocks. Our company carry out possess definitely great imaging because instructions, and also the surface isn't tremendously terrifying, so the Vagabond Planners are going to attempt to create it in one drive. During the course of the disk, we are going to be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" film (a set of images appearing below the rover for the whole size of the drive), which will assist chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our company perform some added atmospherical and also untargeted science. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon flick (considering the crater edge to evaluate dust in the environment) and a dirt evil one film. We likewise possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer will autonomously decide on a target to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "vacant tissue" review to validate that the unit is actually cleaned and also prepared for the following tasting initiative.
