.Our team are back ... almost, anyways. Today's car parking location is extremely close to where our team stationed on sol 4253, and also in a place near one of the previous call scientific research targets "Discovery Epitome." You can easily check out in this blog post that most of the crew, this blogger included, resided in Pasadena for our staff meeting when our experts were last around. That was actually July and also Inquisitiveness will transform 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually a very unusual celebration as well as is actually consistently planned meticulously. Once or twice throughout the final 12 years it took place considering that our experts saw something "in the back looking glass." Some of the instances is the target "Old Cloudburst," where our team spotted mud gaps in the pictures from a previous vehicle parking placement, as well as quickly returned given that this was such an essential exploration. At various other times it was actually properly planned, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may enjoy in this particular video clip from as lengthy back as Planet year 2015. Before handful of preparation cycles, it is actually additional of the latter as our team made our method from Breakthrough Peak, where our team got on sol 4253, "Only going through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also arriving at "Kings Gulch," our exercise site, which we met on sol 4257. You may observe all the action of the boring at Kings Gulch on the blog posts. It took a while-- it constantly carries out-- considering that it's a task with lots of steps and also investigations to finish. We actually commemorated Inquisitiveness's 12th special day at Kings Canyon! Our team departed on sol 4283, went back through "Cathedral Peak," and also are actually now near the Discovery Peak site once more. After that little walkabout by means of the past history of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, specifically the incredibly last one, permit's take a look at today's plan.
