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

.After completing the targeted and also get in touch with science, we're ready to drive. As the science staff possessed time to look a little bit extra at the records gathered because region, they discovered this aim at that cost getting back for. Our company are driving back to the region of the white rocks to carry out additional call science on stones that appear similar to the essential sulfur our company saw previously this year. Preparing ahead of time, I got to scout this drive on Friday, setting out the most safe course and seeking car parking areas that were actually each suitable for communications along with for performing call science. The intended "Lamb Creek" concerns fifty gauges (concerning 164 feet) to the northeast, that makes the drive a problem-- the resolution of our visuals at that variety makes it more difficult to identify these little rocks. Our company perform have really great imaging in that instructions, and the landscapes isn't super scary, so the Wanderer Planners are actually visiting attempt to make it in one drive. During the drive, we will certainly be taking a MARDI "walkway" film (a collection of graphics looking below the rover for the entire duration of the disk), which will definitely assist record the channel. On the second sol of the planning, we do some additional atmospheric and untargeted science. Our company possess a Navcam suprahorizon movie (looking at the sinkhole edge to analyze dirt in the atmosphere) and a dust devil flick. Our team likewise have a ChemCam AEGIS review, where the rover will autonomously select an intended to graphic. Overnight, CheMin carries out an "empty tissue" analysis to validate that the system is actually cleaned and also all set for the following testing project.
