.Our experts are actually back ... practically, anyways. Today's car parking site is incredibly near to where our team stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a region near one of the previous contact science targets "Discovery Epitome." You can easily read through in this article that most of the team, this blogger consisted of, resided in Pasadena for our crew meeting when our experts were actually final around. That was actually July as well as Curiosity will transform 12 on Mars. Going back is actually a quite unusual occasion and is regularly organized carefully. One or two times during the final 12 years it happened given that our company found one thing "in the rear looking glass." One of the instances is actually the target "Old Soaker," where our company found dirt splits in the photos coming from a previous auto parking setting, as well as promptly got back given that this was such an important revelation. At other opportunities it was very carefully intended, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily see in this particular video recording from as long back as Earth year 2015. In the past handful of preparation cycles, it is actually more of the last as our team made our technique from Finding Peak, where our company performed sol 4253, "Only travelling through" "Russell Pass" as well as reaching "Kings Gulch," our practice site, which our company achieved on sol 4257. You can easily observe all the activity of the boring at Kings Canyon on the blog posts. It took an even though-- it always does-- given that it is actually an activity with lots of measures and also inspections to complete. Our team in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday party at Kings Canyon! Our experts left on sol 4283, came back by means of "Sanctuary Top," and also are actually now near the Exploration Pinnacle site once again. After that little hike through the past history of (some) of Curiosity's hikes, particularly the really final one, allow's check out today's plan.
