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

.After completing the targeted and call science, our experts prepare to drive. As the scientific research team possessed opportunity to appear a little bit even more at the data picked up in that region, they found this intended that cost getting back for. We are steering back to the location of the white stones to carry out additional call scientific research on rocks that look comparable to the elemental sulfur our company viewed previously this year. Organizing ahead of time, I got to look this travel on Friday, outlining the most safe pathway and also looking for car park areas that were both good for communications as well as for performing get in touch with science. The intended "Sheep Spring" has to do with fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the drive an obstacle-- the settlement of our images at that range makes it tougher to determine these little stones. We perform have really excellent image resolution in that direction, as well as the landscapes isn't extremely frightening, so the Vagabond Planners are going to attempt to create it in one ride. Throughout the disk, we will definitely be taking a MARDI "pathway" film (a series of graphics appearing listed below the vagabond for the whole entire size of the drive), which will certainly aid record the network. On the 2nd sol of the planning, our experts do some extra atmospherical and untargeted science. Our experts possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (looking at the sinkhole edge to analyze dirt in the ambience) and also a dust devil film. Our team likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer is going to autonomously decide on a target to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty cell" review to verify that the unit is cleaned out as well as prepared for the following sampling project.
