Sols 4289-4290: From Revelation Epitome to Kings Gulch as well as Back Once Again

.We are actually back ... virtually, anyways. Today's auto parking site is actually very close to where our team stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a location near some of the previous call science targets "Exploration Epitome." You can easily go through within this post that the majority of the crew, this blog owner featured, resided in Pasadena for our crew meeting when our company were actually final in this field. That was July and Interest was about to turn 12 on Mars. Going back is actually an extremely unusual occasion and is actually constantly intended thoroughly.

At other opportunities it was actually carefully intended, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may enjoy in this particular video from as lengthy back as Planet year 2015. In the past few preparing cycles, it is actually additional of the last as our experts created our way from Discovery Peak, where we performed sol 4253, "Merely travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" and also reaching "Kings Canyon," our exercise place, which our experts met on sol 4257. You may adhere to all the action of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the blog posts. It took an even though-- it consistently does-- considering that it's a task along with lots of steps and investigations to accomplish. Our team really celebrated Interest's 12th special day at Kings Gulch! Our experts left on sol 4283, went back via "Cathedral Peak," and are right now near the Exploration Epitome location once more.
