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

.After finishing up the targeted as well as connect with science, our team prepare to drive. As the scientific research team possessed opportunity to appear a little bit much more at the information collected in that region, they discovered this aim at that was worth returning for. We are actually steering back to the area of the white colored rocks to perform more contact scientific research on rocks that appear identical to the important sulfur we viewed previously this year. Planning in advance, I got to scout this ride on Friday, outlining the ideal road and also trying to find vehicle parking places that were actually each good for interactions along with for doing contact scientific research. The intended "Lamb Creek" concerns fifty meters (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the drive a challenge-- the settlement of our photos at that assortment produces it tougher to determine these small stones. Our experts carry out have actually excellent image resolution because path, and also the landscapes isn't extremely distressing, so the Vagabond Planners are actually going to make an effort to create it in one travel. During the drive, our experts will definitely be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" film (a series of photos appearing listed below the wanderer for the entire duration of the drive), which will certainly help chronicle the network. On the second sol of the plan, our company carry out some additional climatic and also untargeted scientific research. We have a Navcam suprahorizon film (looking at the scar rim to review dust in the ambience) as well as a dirt devil movie. We likewise possess a ChemCam AEGIS monitoring, where the wanderer is going to autonomously pick an aim at to image. Overnight, CheMin does an "vacant cell" study to affirm that the body is actually cleaned and all set for the following testing initiative.
