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

.After finishing up the targeted and also contact scientific research, our team prepare to drive. As the scientific research team possessed opportunity to appear a little bit even more at the information collected because area, they uncovered this aim at that was worth going back for. Our experts are driving back to the area of the white rocks to do more contact scientific research on stones that look comparable to the elemental sulfur we viewed earlier this year. Organizing ahead, I got to hunt this travel on Friday, laying out the ideal path and also searching for car park places that were actually each good for communications as well as for doing call science. The target "Lambs Creek" has to do with fifty gauges (concerning 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the drive a challenge-- the settlement of our photos at that range produces it harder to figure out these small rocks. Our experts do possess really good imaging in that direction, and the surface isn't incredibly distressing, so the Wanderer Planners are going to make an effort to create it in one travel. Throughout the disk, our company will be actually taking a MARDI "pathway" motion picture (a series of photos appearing below the vagabond for the whole entire size of the disk), which will definitely aid record the channel. On the 2nd sol of the program, we carry out some additional climatic and untargeted science. Our company have a Navcam suprahorizon film (taking a look at the scar rim to analyze dirt in the atmosphere) and a dust devil flick. Our team likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the vagabond will autonomously choose an intended to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty cell" evaluation to validate that the device is cleaned as well as prepared for the following testing campaign.
