.We are actually back ... virtually, anyways. Today's auto parking area is quite near to where we positioned on sol 4253, and also in a location near one of the previous contact science targets "Exploration Epitome." You can read in this particular article that many of the crew, this blog writer consisted of, was in Pasadena for our team conference when we were final in this field. That was July and Curiosity will switch 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually a very unusual event as well as is always organized thoroughly. One or two times during the course of the last 12 years it occurred considering that our company saw one thing "in the back looking glass." One of the examples is the intended "Old Cloudburst," where we identified mud cracks in the photos coming from a previous auto parking position, and quickly returned considering that this was such a vital discovery. At other times it was meticulously planned, like the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily check out within this video from as long back as The planet year 2015. Before couple of preparation patterns, it's more of the second as our team created our means from Invention Pinnacle, where our experts were on sol 4253, "Only travelling through" "Russell Successfully pass" as well as coming to "Kings Gulch," our practice area, which we achieved on sol 4257. You can follow all the activity of the boring at Kings Canyon on the blog sites. It took an even though-- it constantly does-- due to the fact that it's a task along with several steps and also examinations to complete. Our team in fact celebrated Inquisitiveness's 12th birthday party at Kings Canyon! Our experts departed on sol 4283, came back by means of "Cathedral Top," as well as are actually right now near the Revelation Epitome area once more. Afterwards little walkabout with the history of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, particularly the incredibly last one, allow's look at today's strategy.
