.We are back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car park area is actually quite close to where our company stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a place near one of the previous contact science targets "Discovery Epitome." You can easily read in this particular article that the majority of the crew, this blog writer consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our group appointment when our experts were actually last in this area. That was July and also Interest was about to transform 12 on Mars. Going back is actually an incredibly unusual event and also is regularly organized very carefully. Once or twice in the course of the final 12 years it happened because our experts found something "in the rear mirror." One of the examples is actually the target "Old Cloudburst," where our team spotted dirt gaps in the graphics coming from a previous car parking posture, and immediately returned given that this was actually such a necessary discovery. At various other times it was meticulously considered, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can see in this video clip from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Previously handful of preparing patterns, it is actually additional of the last as we created our means from Invention Peak, where we were on sol 4253, "Simply going through" "Russell Successfully pass" and getting to "Kings Canyon," our exercise place, which our company met on sol 4257. You can easily comply with all the activity of the boring at Kings Canyon on the blog sites. It took a while-- it constantly carries out-- considering that it is actually a task with many measures as well as investigations to finish. Our experts actually celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Gulch! We left on sol 4283, returned using "Basilica Peak," as well as are currently near the Exploration Epitome location once again. After that little walkabout by means of the past of (some) of Interest's walkabouts, especially the really last one, let's examine today's strategy.
