Sols 4289-4290: From Discovery Epitome to Kings Canyon and Back Again

.We are actually back ... just about, anyways. Today's parking place is really near where our experts stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a location near among the previous contact science targets "Revelation Pinnacle." You can read through within this blog post that most of the crew, this blog writer consisted of, resided in Pasadena for our team meeting when our team were last around. That was July as well as Inquisitiveness was about to switch 12 on Mars. Returning is actually a really unusual affair and is constantly intended thoroughly. Once or twice during the last 12 years it took place since our team viewed one thing "in the back looking glass." One of the examples is the target "Old Soaker," where we located mud cracks in the images coming from a previous parking position, and also promptly got back given that this was actually such an important exploration. At other opportunities it was actually carefully intended, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can see in this video clip coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. In the past handful of preparation cycles, it's even more of the latter as our company created our way from Finding Epitome, where our company got on sol 4253, "Just passing through" "Russell Pass" and arriving at "Kings Canyon," our drill place, which our company reached on sol 4257. You can adhere to all the action of the drilling at Kings Gulch on the blog sites. It took an even though-- it always carries out-- since it is actually an activity along with numerous steps and investigations to finish. Our team really celebrated Interest's 12th special day at Kings Gulch! Our team left on sol 4283, went back via "Cathedral Peak," and also are now near the Exploration Epitome area once again. After that little bit of hike with the background of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, especially the really last one, allow's consider today's planning.
