.Our experts are back ... nearly, anyways. Today's vehicle parking location is quite close to where we parked on sol 4253, and in a place near one of the previous connect with science targets "Exploration Pinnacle." You can check out in this particular blog post that many of the staff, this blog writer consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our crew meeting when we were final in this area. That was actually July as well as Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Returning is a quite unusual occasion and also is consistently organized properly. Once or twice throughout the final 12 years it took place given that our company saw one thing "in the rear looking glass." Some of the instances is actually the target "Old Soaker," where our company found mud gaps in the photos from a previous vehicle parking position, and immediately got back since this was actually such a significant revelation. At other times it was thoroughly intended, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily enjoy in this particular video clip coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. In the past few preparation cycles, it's additional of the last as our team created our technique from Breakthrough Pinnacle, where our experts performed sol 4253, "Merely going through" "Russell Elapsed" as well as reaching "Kings Canyon," our drill place, which our company reached on sol 4257. You can easily comply with all the activity of the exploration at Kings Gulch on the blogging sites. It took an although-- it consistently does-- considering that it's an activity along with lots of actions and examinations to finish. We in fact commemorated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Gulch! Our team departed on sol 4283, came back by means of "Cathedral Peak," as well as are actually now near the Revelation Pinnacle location once again. After that little bit of hike with the record of (some) of Interest's hikes, especially the very final one, let's examine today's planning.
