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

.After wrapping up the targeted as well as call science, our team're ready to drive. As the scientific research crew had time to appear a little much more at the data collected during that area, they uncovered this aim at that deserved returning for. We are driving back to the area of the white rocks to perform additional call science on stones that appear similar to the important sulfur our company observed earlier this year. Preparation ahead of time, I got to search this travel on Friday, laying out the best path and also looking for car parking spots that were actually both suitable for interactions in addition to for doing contact scientific research. The intended "Sheep Creek" is about fifty meters (concerning 164 feets) to the northeast, that makes the travel a challenge-- the resolution of our photos at that range makes it more difficult to spot these tiny stones. Our company perform possess definitely good image resolution because instructions, and also the terrain isn't tremendously terrifying, so the Rover Planners are visiting make an effort to produce it in one drive. In the course of the drive, our experts are going to be taking a MARDI "walkway" flick (a set of graphics looking listed below the vagabond for the entire size of the drive), which will help document the channel. On the 2nd sol of the planning, we do some extra atmospherical as well as untargeted scientific research. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon film (examining the scar edge to evaluate dirt in the environment) and a dirt evil one movie. Our company also possess a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the vagabond is going to autonomously decide on a target to image. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "unfilled cell" review to affirm that the unit is cleaned and also prepared for the following tasting project.
