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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as connect with scientific research, our company're ready to drive. As the science crew possessed time to appear a bit more at the data gathered because region, they uncovered this intended that cost returning for. Our company are driving back to the location of the white colored rocks to do additional get in touch with scientific research on rocks that look comparable to the elemental sulfur our experts found previously this year. Organizing ahead, I reached scout this ride on Friday, setting out the ideal pathway as well as looking for car park areas that were actually each helpful for communications along with for performing get in touch with science. The target "Sheep Creek" is about fifty meters (about 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the drive an obstacle-- the resolution of our images at that variety produces it more difficult to spot these small rocks. Our experts carry out have really good image resolution in that direction, and the surface isn't tremendously terrifying, so the Vagabond Planners are actually going to try to create it in one ride. During the drive, our company are going to be actually taking a MARDI "sidewalk" flick (a collection of images appearing below the vagabond for the entire length of the drive), which are going to assist document the network. On the 2nd sol of the planning, we perform some added atmospherical as well as untargeted science. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (examining the scar rim to examine dirt in the setting) and a dust evil one movie. Our company likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the wanderer will autonomously select an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty tissue" evaluation to confirm that the body is actually cleaned out and also prepared for the next tasting campaign.
