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

.After finishing up the targeted and contact science, our experts prepare to drive. As the science staff possessed opportunity to appear a little bit more at the data picked up during that area, they found this target that deserved returning for. We are steering back to the location of the white rocks to do additional connect with scientific research on rocks that appear similar to the essential sulfur our team found earlier this year. Preparation in advance, I got to search this ride on Friday, outlining the best road and trying to find vehicle parking locations that were actually both good for interactions and also for carrying out call science. The target "Lamb Creek" concerns fifty gauges (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride an obstacle-- the resolution of our photos at that selection produces it more difficult to pinpoint these tiny rocks. Our team do have definitely excellent imaging because direction, as well as the landscapes isn't tremendously frightening, so the Rover Planners are mosting likely to try to produce it in one travel. During the disk, our experts are going to be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" film (a set of graphics appearing below the wanderer for the whole size of the disk), which will aid chronicle the channel. On the second sol of the strategy, our team perform some additional climatic and also untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (examining the hole edge to evaluate dirt in the atmosphere) as well as a dust evil one flick. Our team likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the rover will autonomously select an aim at to picture. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty cell" review to verify that the system is cleaned and all set for the next testing campaign.
