Sols 4289-4290: Coming From Exploration Pinnacle to Kings Canyon and also Back Once More

.Our company are actually back ... almost, anyways. Today's car park location is incredibly close to where our team positioned on sol 4253, as well as in an area near one of the previous call scientific research targets "Exploration Peak." You may read through in this blog post that most of the group, this blog owner consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our team meeting when our experts were actually final in this area. That was actually July as well as Inquisitiveness was about to turn 12 on Mars. Returning is a quite unusual event as well as is actually consistently prepared very carefully. Once or twice throughout the final 12 years it occurred given that our team viewed something "in the rear looking glass." One of the examples is the target "Old Soaker," where our team identified dirt gaps in the images coming from a previous vehicle parking position, and without delay returned considering that this was actually such a vital discovery. At various other opportunities it was actually properly organized, like the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may view within this video coming from as lengthy back as Earth year 2015. Over the last few organizing cycles, it is actually even more of the second as our team created our technique coming from Breakthrough Epitome, where our team got on sol 4253, "Just going through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also getting to "Kings Gulch," our exercise site, which we reached on sol 4257. You can easily adhere to all the action of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the weblogs. It took an even though-- it constantly carries out-- given that it is actually an activity with lots of actions and inspections to accomplish. Our experts in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th special day at Kings Gulch! Our company left on sol 4283, returned by means of "Sanctuary Peak," and are actually currently near the Revelation Epitome area again. Afterwards little walkabout via the past history of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, particularly the quite last one, allow's consider today's strategy.
