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

.After finishing up the targeted and contact science, our experts're ready to drive. As the science team possessed opportunity to look a bit even more at the records gathered during that region, they found this target that deserved going back for. Our experts are driving back to the place of the white rocks to carry out more contact science on rocks that appear comparable to the essential sulfur our team saw previously this year. Planning ahead, I got to look this ride on Friday, setting out the safest pathway and also seeking auto parking spots that were actually both good for interactions as well as for doing call scientific research. The aim at "Lamb Creek" has to do with 50 gauges (regarding 164 feets) to the northeast, which makes the drive a challenge-- the settlement of our images at that variety makes it tougher to pinpoint these tiny stones. Our experts do possess truly excellent image resolution during that path, as well as the terrain isn't extremely distressing, so the Wanderer Planners are actually going to make an effort to create it in one ride. Throughout the drive, our team will definitely be taking a MARDI "walkway" film (a collection of graphics appearing below the wanderer for the whole entire size of the disk), which will assist record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the plan, our team perform some extra climatic and untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon flick (examining the crater rim to analyze dust in the environment) and a dirt adversary movie. Our experts also possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the vagabond will autonomously decide on an intended to graphic. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" study to verify that the body is actually cleared out and also all set for the upcoming testing campaign.
