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

.After concluding the targeted and call scientific research, we prepare to drive. As the science team possessed time to appear a little bit more at the records gathered during that area, they found this target that deserved going back for. Our team are driving back to the place of the white stones to perform even more contact science on rocks that appear similar to the important sulfur our company saw earlier this year. Preparation in advance, I came to hunt this travel on Friday, mapping out the best course as well as searching for car park locations that were each great for communications as well as for performing contact science. The aim at "Lambs Spring" has to do with 50 meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the travel a problem-- the resolution of our images at that selection produces it more difficult to pinpoint these little rocks. Our team carry out possess actually good imaging in that instructions, and also the surface isn't incredibly frightful, so the Rover Planners are heading to attempt to make it in one ride. During the disk, our team will definitely be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" film (a series of pictures looking below the wanderer for the whole entire span of the drive), which are going to assist document the channel. On the second sol of the plan, our company carry out some added climatic as well as untargeted scientific research. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon film (taking a look at the crater rim to review dirt in the atmosphere) and also a dust evil one motion picture. Our company additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer is going to autonomously pick an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "vacant cell" study to validate that the device is cleaned and all set for the upcoming sampling project.
