.Our company are back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car parking place is incredibly close to where our company stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a location near among the previous contact scientific research targets "Exploration Pinnacle." You may review in this post that a lot of the group, this writer included, was in Pasadena for our team meeting when our company were final in this area. That was actually July and also Curiosity was about to transform 12 on Mars. Going back is an incredibly rare occasion and is consistently prepared properly. Once or twice in the course of the final 12 years it took place due to the fact that our experts viewed one thing "in the back looking glass." Among the instances is the intended "Old Soaker," where we identified mud cracks in the pictures from a previous auto parking setting, and also promptly got back since this was actually such an important discovery. At various other opportunities it was actually properly organized, such as the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may see within this video coming from as lengthy back as Earth year 2015. Before handful of planning patterns, it's additional of the latter as we made our means from Discovery Epitome, where our experts got on sol 4253, "Simply passing through" "Russell Successfully pass" and reaching "Kings Gulch," our exercise site, which our company met on sol 4257. You may observe all the action of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the blogs. It took a while-- it constantly carries out-- given that it is actually an activity with a lot of steps and also investigations to complete. Our company really celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Canyon! We left on sol 4283, came back through "Cathedral Peak," and also are actually now near the Revelation Pinnacle area once more. Afterwards little bit of walkabout via the background of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, especially the quite final one, allow's examine today's strategy.
