Sols 4257-4258: A Little Bit Of Nudge on Kings Gulch

.The Drill Sol 1 planning has two purposes-- 1st to calculate if our target, Kings Gulch, meets the science teams requirements for sampling-- for instance, is it compositionally interesting? The 2nd purpose is to figure out if the stone and also certain target, are actually secure to pierce can it take care of the forces from the exercise, as an example. We call this activity a "drill preload exam." For that reason, the main tasks in today's program are actually the preload examination as well as get in touch with science on Kings Canyon-- we will certainly initially brush the aim at to take out area dust and then take view imaging with our MAHLI instrument and compositional data along with our APXS equipment.
