.Our company are actually back ... just about, anyways. Today's car park place is actually quite close to where our experts parked on sol 4253, and in a location near one of the previous connect with scientific research targets "Discovery Peak." You can easily read in this blog post that most of the team, this writer included, resided in Pasadena for our team meeting when we were final around. That was July and Curiosity will transform 12 on Mars. Returning is a really unusual event and also is regularly planned carefully. One or two times during the final 12 years it happened since our team viewed one thing "in the rear looking glass." Among the examples is the aim at "Old Soaker," where our company spotted mud gaps in the images coming from a previous vehicle parking position, and immediately went back since this was such a vital revelation. At various other opportunities it was actually very carefully planned, including the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may view in this video clip from as long back as The planet year 2015. Before handful of preparing patterns, it is actually more of the last as our company created our technique from Discovery Epitome, where we were on sol 4253, "Only travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" as well as arriving at "Kings Gulch," our practice place, which our team reached on sol 4257. You can easily comply with all the activity of the boring at Kings Canyon on the weblogs. It took a while-- it regularly carries out-- since it's an activity with lots of steps and examinations to finish. Our experts actually commemorated Interest's 12th special day at Kings Canyon! We departed on sol 4283, came back through "Cathedral Top," as well as are now near the Exploration Pinnacle area once again. After that little walkabout by means of the past of (some) of Interest's hikes, particularly the very last one, let's look at today's planning.
