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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as connect with science, we prepare to steer. As the science team had opportunity to look a little bit extra at the information picked up during that location, they discovered this intended that deserved returning for. We are steering back to the location of the white colored stones to perform additional connect with science on rocks that appear identical to the essential sulfur we saw earlier this year. Planning ahead of time, I came to look this ride on Friday, setting out the most safe path as well as searching for vehicle parking places that were actually each helpful for interactions along with for carrying out call scientific research. The aim at "Lamb Spring" has to do with 50 gauges (concerning 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the ride a problem-- the resolution of our images at that variation produces it more challenging to identify these little rocks. Our team perform have definitely good image resolution during that path, and also the terrain isn't extremely frightful, so the Rover Planners are going to attempt to make it in one travel. During the course of the drive, our team will certainly be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" motion picture (a collection of graphics appearing below the wanderer for the whole size of the disk), which will certainly aid chronicle the channel. On the second sol of the plan, our company do some added climatic and untargeted scientific research. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon flick (examining the scar edge to review dust in the atmosphere) and also a dirt evil one motion picture. We likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the rover is going to autonomously choose a target to photo. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty cell" study to validate that the body is actually cleaned and prepared for the next sampling initiative.
