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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as call scientific research, our company're ready to steer. As the science staff possessed time to look a little even more at the information picked up during that area, they discovered this target that deserved getting back for. Our experts are steering back to the area of the white colored stones to carry out even more connect with science on stones that appear similar to the essential sulfur our team observed earlier this year. Preparing ahead of time, I reached scout this ride on Friday, outlining the most safe path and also searching for vehicle parking areas that were actually each good for interactions along with for performing connect with science. The aim at "Lamb Creek" is about fifty meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the ride an obstacle-- the resolution of our imagery at that selection creates it tougher to determine these little stones. Our experts do possess actually great image resolution during that instructions, and the surface isn't incredibly frightening, so the Wanderer Planners are heading to attempt to produce it in one ride. During the drive, our company will definitely be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" movie (a collection of images looking listed below the rover for the entire length of the disk), which will help document the stations. On the 2nd sol of the program, our company perform some extra atmospheric as well as untargeted science. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon film (looking at the crater rim to evaluate dust in the setting) and also a dirt evil one movie. We likewise possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the vagabond is going to autonomously select a target to image. Overnight, CheMin performs an "empty cell" review to confirm that the unit is cleaned out and also ready for the following testing campaign.
