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

.After concluding the targeted as well as call scientific research, our experts prepare to drive. As the scientific research staff had time to appear a little bit more at the data picked up in that area, they found this aim at that cost returning for. Our experts are actually driving back to the location of the white stones to perform additional call science on stones that appear similar to the important sulfur our company observed earlier this year. Organizing ahead, I came to look this ride on Friday, laying out the ideal road and seeking car parking locations that were both suitable for communications along with for performing call scientific research. The intended "Lamb Spring" concerns fifty meters (concerning 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the travel a problem-- the settlement of our images at that variety creates it more difficult to figure out these little stones. Our experts carry out possess definitely good image resolution because path, and also the surface isn't extremely scary, so the Rover Planners are heading to make an effort to make it in one drive. In the course of the disk, our experts are going to be taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a set of pictures looking listed below the rover for the whole length of the drive), which will definitely aid record the stations. On the second sol of the strategy, our company carry out some extra climatic and also untargeted science. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (checking out the crater rim to analyze dirt in the atmosphere) and also a dust adversary film. Our team additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the vagabond will autonomously decide on a target to graphic. Overnight, CheMin does an "empty cell" review to verify that the unit is cleaned and ready for the upcoming sampling project.
