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

.After completing the targeted and also contact scientific research, our team're ready to steer. As the scientific research group had time to appear a little even more at the data collected because region, they discovered this intended that deserved returning for. We are actually driving back to the place of the white rocks to perform more contact science on stones that look similar to the essential sulfur our company viewed earlier this year. Preparing in advance, I reached search this ride on Friday, mapping out the best pathway as well as searching for car parking places that were each great for communications as well as for performing contact science. The aim at "Lamb Spring" is about fifty gauges (about 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the ride a difficulty-- the resolution of our photos at that assortment makes it harder to determine these tiny rocks. Our company perform have actually excellent image resolution in that instructions, and also the terrain isn't extremely frightful, so the Vagabond Planners are heading to attempt to produce it in one drive. During the drive, our team will certainly be taking a MARDI "pathway" motion picture (a set of graphics appearing below the vagabond for the entire span of the drive), which will aid document the network. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our company do some additional atmospherical as well as untargeted science. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon film (checking out the scar rim to review dust in the environment) as well as a dust devil motion picture. Our experts additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the wanderer will autonomously decide on an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty cell" review to affirm that the system is cleared out and ready for the following sampling initiative.
