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

.After concluding the targeted and get in touch with scientific research, we prepare to steer. As the science crew had time to appear a little bit even more at the records accumulated because location, they uncovered this intended that cost returning for. Our company are steering back to the location of the white colored rocks to accomplish more call scientific research on rocks that look similar to the elemental sulfur we viewed earlier this year. Organizing ahead of time, I came to look this drive on Friday, laying out the safest road and looking for parking places that were actually each great for interactions along with for doing contact scientific research. The aim at "Lambs Creek" concerns 50 gauges (about 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the ride a challenge-- the resolution of our visuals at that range produces it more challenging to figure out these little rocks. Our company perform have actually good imaging because instructions, as well as the surface isn't very frightening, so the Wanderer Planners are actually mosting likely to attempt to produce it in one ride. During the course of the drive, our experts will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" movie (a set of photos looking listed below the vagabond for the whole span of the disk), which will definitely help chronicle the stations. On the 2nd sol of the program, we carry out some added climatic as well as untargeted science. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon movie (taking a look at the crater edge to analyze dirt in the setting) as well as a dust adversary film. We also have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the vagabond is going to autonomously decide on an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "vacant cell" review to validate that the unit is cleared out as well as all set for the upcoming sampling campaign.
