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

.After wrapping up the targeted as well as call scientific research, our team're ready to steer. As the scientific research group had opportunity to appear a little much more at the records collected in that location, they uncovered this aim at that deserved getting back for. Our experts are driving back to the place of the white stones to do more contact science on stones that appear comparable to the elemental sulfur our experts viewed earlier this year. Preparation ahead, I reached look this ride on Friday, laying out the ideal pathway and also looking for vehicle parking areas that were both suitable for interactions as well as for performing contact science. The aim at "Lambs Spring" has to do with 50 gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the ride a difficulty-- the resolution of our images at that variety makes it more difficult to spot these tiny stones. Our company do have truly great imaging because path, and also the surface isn't tremendously frightening, so the Vagabond Planners are going to try to make it in one drive. During the course of the drive, our experts will definitely be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a set of graphics appearing listed below the wanderer for the entire span of the drive), which will definitely help record the stations. On the second sol of the program, our company perform some added atmospheric and also untargeted scientific research. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (looking at the hole edge to review dirt in the atmosphere) and also a dust devil movie. Our company likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer is going to autonomously decide on an intended to image. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" analysis to affirm that the system is actually cleaned and also ready for the upcoming testing initiative.
