.Our team are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's car parking site is quite close to where our company parked on sol 4253, and also in a place near one of the previous connect with science targets "Exploration Pinnacle." You may check out within this blog post that the majority of the team, this blog owner featured, remained in Pasadena for our staff meeting when our company were actually final around. That was actually July and Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Returning is actually a really rare event as well as is actually always organized very carefully. One or two times throughout the final 12 years it happened given that our experts found one thing "in the back mirror." Among the examples is actually the aim at "Old Soaker," where we detected dirt splits in the graphics coming from a previous vehicle parking position, and quickly returned considering that this was such a crucial exploration. At other times it was actually meticulously considered, like the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily see in this video clip from as long back as Planet year 2015. In the past few preparing patterns, it's additional of the last as our team made our means coming from Finding Epitome, where our team got on sol 4253, "Only going through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also getting to "Kings Gulch," our practice location, which our company reached on sol 4257. You can easily follow all the activity of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the blogs. It took a while-- it regularly performs-- considering that it is actually a task along with numerous steps and also examinations to complete. Our company in fact commemorated Interest's 12th special day at Kings Gulch! Our experts departed on sol 4283, returned using "Cathedral Peak," and also are actually currently near the Exploration Peak area once again. After that little bit of walkabout by means of the past history of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, particularly the incredibly final one, let's check out today's program.
