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

.After completing the targeted and also call scientific research, our experts prepare to steer. As the science team possessed time to appear a bit even more at the records accumulated because area, they uncovered this aim at that cost going back for. We are actually steering back to the location of the white rocks to do additional call scientific research on rocks that look comparable to the important sulfur our company viewed earlier this year. Preparing in advance, I came to search this drive on Friday, laying out the ideal road and also trying to find vehicle parking locations that were actually each helpful for communications along with for performing call science. The target "Lambs Spring" concerns fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, which makes the drive an obstacle-- the settlement of our visuals at that selection produces it tougher to determine these little stones. Our team perform have actually good imaging during that instructions, and also the terrain isn't tremendously terrifying, so the Rover Planners are actually heading to make an effort to create it in one ride. In the course of the drive, our company will certainly be taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a set of photos appearing listed below the vagabond for the whole span of the disk), which will aid record the network. On the second sol of the plan, our team carry out some additional climatic and also untargeted science. Our team have a Navcam suprahorizon film (checking out the hole rim to evaluate dirt in the setting) and also a dirt devil movie. We also have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover is going to autonomously pick a target to picture. Overnight, CheMin performs an "unfilled cell" analysis to confirm that the device is actually cleaned out and prepared for the next tasting project.
