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

.After concluding the targeted and also get in touch with science, we prepare to drive. As the science staff possessed time to appear a little extra at the information collected in that area, they discovered this target that cost getting back for. We are driving back to the place of the white rocks to accomplish more connect with scientific research on stones that look similar to the important sulfur our team viewed earlier this year. Organizing ahead of time, I got to look this drive on Friday, outlining the best road as well as searching for parking spots that were actually each great for communications in addition to for performing contact science. The target "Sheep Creek" is about 50 meters (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride a challenge-- the resolution of our images at that assortment produces it harder to identify these little stones. We perform possess actually good imaging during that direction, as well as the terrain isn't extremely frightening, so the Rover Planners are going to make an effort to create it in one drive. In the course of the disk, our team are going to be taking a MARDI "pavement" flick (a set of pictures looking below the vagabond for the entire duration of the disk), which will certainly assist record the channel. On the second sol of the program, our company carry out some added climatic as well as untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (looking at the hole rim to examine dust in the setting) and a dust evil one motion picture. Our experts also have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond is going to autonomously pick an aim at to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty cell" evaluation to confirm that the body is cleared out and all set for the following tasting initiative.
