.Our team are back ... just about, anyways. Today's car parking location is actually very close to where our experts parked on sol 4253, and also in a place near one of the previous contact scientific research targets "Discovery Pinnacle." You can easily read through in this particular post that many of the staff, this blog writer featured, remained in Pasadena for our crew meeting when we were actually last in this field. That was actually July and also Curiosity was about to transform 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually an extremely rare celebration and also is consistently prepared thoroughly. Once or twice throughout the last 12 years it happened because our company viewed something "in the rear mirror." One of the examples is the aim at "Old Cloudburst," where our company identified dirt gaps in the pictures coming from a previous auto parking posture, as well as immediately returned because this was such a significant revelation. At various other times it was properly intended, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can see within this video clip from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Over the last handful of preparation cycles, it's even more of the second as we made our means from Discovery Pinnacle, where our company were on sol 4253, "Simply going through" "Russell Elapsed" and getting to "Kings Canyon," our exercise site, which we met on sol 4257. You can follow all the activity of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the blogging sites. It took a while-- it regularly carries out-- since it is actually a task with many measures and also examinations to accomplish. Our team really celebrated Inquisitiveness's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Gulch! We left on sol 4283, came back via "Basilica Peak," and are actually right now near the Discovery Peak location once again. After that little bit of walkabout with the history of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, especially the very final one, allow's examine today's planning.
