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

.After concluding the targeted and also connect with science, our team prepare to drive. As the scientific research staff had time to appear a little bit even more at the data picked up in that area, they found this intended that deserved going back for. Our company are actually steering back to the place of the white stones to carry out more connect with science on rocks that look comparable to the elemental sulfur our team viewed earlier this year. Preparing ahead of time, I got to scout this travel on Friday, laying out the most safe path and also searching for auto parking places that were actually each suitable for communications and also for carrying out connect with scientific research. The aim at "Lamb Spring" has to do with 50 meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the drive a problem-- the resolution of our photos at that variety creates it more challenging to pinpoint these tiny stones. Our team carry out have definitely great image resolution in that instructions, and the terrain isn't tremendously frightening, so the Rover Planners are going to attempt to produce it in one travel. Throughout the disk, our team will be taking a MARDI "sidewalk" film (a series of pictures appearing below the wanderer for the whole entire duration of the disk), which will certainly help record the channel. On the second sol of the planning, our team perform some additional climatic and also untargeted scientific research. Our experts have a Navcam suprahorizon motion picture (looking at the hole rim to assess dust in the atmosphere) and a dirt adversary flick. We additionally have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the rover is going to autonomously decide on an intended to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" analysis to confirm that the unit is actually cleared out and prepared for the next sampling project.
