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

.After wrapping up the targeted and also call science, our experts're ready to drive. As the science staff had opportunity to look a little bit a lot more at the records collected during that location, they found this intended that was worth returning for. Our experts are actually driving back to the location of the white rocks to carry out even more call science on stones that look identical to the important sulfur our team found previously this year. Preparation in advance, I came to look this drive on Friday, laying out the most safe pathway and also looking for parking spots that were actually each great for communications in addition to for carrying out connect with scientific research. The target "Lambs Creek" concerns 50 meters (about 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride an obstacle-- the resolution of our photos at that assortment produces it more difficult to pinpoint these small rocks. Our team perform have really great image resolution in that path, as well as the surface isn't very scary, so the Wanderer Planners are going to attempt to make it in one travel. During the course of the disk, our team will definitely be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" flick (a series of photos looking listed below the vagabond for the whole entire duration of the disk), which will certainly help chronicle the network. On the second sol of the program, we carry out some extra climatic and untargeted scientific research. We have a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (taking a look at the scar rim to assess dust in the environment) as well as a dust evil one flick. We additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer is going to autonomously choose a target to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "unfilled cell" review to validate that the device is cleared out as well as all set for the next sampling project.
