Today's auto parking location is actually really close to where our company stationed on sol 4253, and also in an area near some of the previous connect with science targets "Revelation Peak." You can read through in this article that most of the group, this writer consisted of, was in Pasadena for our staff conference when we were last around. That was actually July and Interest will transform 12 on Mars. Coming back is an incredibly unusual occasion and is actually consistently intended thoroughly. Once or twice during the course of the final 12 years it happened due to the fact that we observed something "in the rear mirror." One of the instances is actually the target "Old Cloudburst," where our company found dirt gaps in the images from a previous car park posture, and also promptly returned due to the fact that this was such an important exploration. At various other opportunities it was actually thoroughly planned, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may watch in this video recording coming from as lengthy back as Planet year 2015. In the past few preparation patterns, it is actually additional of the second as our experts made our way coming from Discovery Epitome, where our experts performed sol 4253, "Only going through" "Russell Pass" and also coming to "Kings Canyon," our practice site, which we met on sol 4257. You can adhere to all the action of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the blog sites. It took an although-- it regularly does-- due to the fact that it is actually a task along with many measures as well as examinations to complete.

We departed on sol 4283, came back by means of "Sanctuary Top," and also are right now near the Exploration Pinnacle location again. After that little bit of walkabout through the history of (some) of Curiosity's hikes, especially the quite final one, permit's consider today's plan.
