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

.After wrapping up the targeted and also connect with scientific research, our team prepare to steer. As the scientific research team had opportunity to look a little much more at the records picked up during that area, they discovered this intended that was worth getting back for. We are driving back to the location of the white rocks to carry out more contact scientific research on stones that look identical to the essential sulfur our company found previously this year. Preparing in advance, I came to search this ride on Friday, mapping out the most safe course as well as seeking car park places that were both great for interactions and also for performing get in touch with science. The intended "Sheep Spring" has to do with fifty gauges (regarding 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the drive a problem-- the settlement of our photos at that array creates it harder to spot these small rocks. We perform possess truly excellent image resolution in that path, and the landscapes isn't incredibly terrifying, so the Wanderer Planners are mosting likely to make an effort to make it in one ride. During the drive, our experts are going to be actually taking a MARDI "pavement" movie (a set of graphics appearing listed below the wanderer for the whole entire span of the disk), which are going to aid record the stations. On the 2nd sol of the program, our team perform some added atmospheric and untargeted science. Our team possess a Navcam suprahorizon film (examining the sinkhole rim to examine dust in the ambience) and a dirt devil motion picture. We additionally possess a ChemCam AEGIS observation, where the wanderer is going to autonomously pick an aim at to photo. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "unfilled tissue" study to confirm that the body is cleared out as well as prepared for the following tasting project.
