.We are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's vehicle parking area is incredibly near where our experts positioned on sol 4253, as well as in a location near some of the previous connect with science targets "Discovery Pinnacle." You may read in this particular blog that many of the group, this blog owner included, remained in Pasadena for our team conference when our company were last in this area. That was actually July and Curiosity was about to switch 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually an incredibly rare occasion and also is constantly intended meticulously.

Among the examples is actually the target "Old Soaker," where our company located dirt cracks in the pictures from a previous vehicle parking position, and also without delay got back given that this was such a crucial revelation. At various other times it was very carefully planned, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily see in this video coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. In the past couple of preparing patterns, it is actually more of the last as we created our technique from Finding Pinnacle, where our company got on sol 4253, "Just going through" "Russell Elapsed" as well as getting to "Kings Gulch," our drill place, which we met on sol 4257. You can follow all the action of the exploration at Kings Gulch on the blogging sites. It took a while-- it constantly carries out-- due to the fact that it's an activity with lots of steps and also examinations to accomplish. We actually commemorated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Gulch! Our team departed on sol 4283, came back using "Basilica Top," and also are actually now near the Exploration Pinnacle area again. Afterwards little bit of hike with the background of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, especially the incredibly last one, permit's look at today's planning.
