.Our team are back ... almost, anyways. Today's car park area is very close to where we parked on sol 4253, and in a location near among the previous contact science targets "Exploration Peak." You may read through within this blog post that a lot of the group, this writer included, remained in Pasadena for our staff meeting when our company were last in this field. That was actually July and also Curiosity was about to turn 12 on Mars. Going back is actually a really uncommon occasion and also is always prepared meticulously. Once or twice in the course of the final 12 years it took place because we observed one thing "in the rear mirror." Some of the instances is actually the target "Old Cloudburst," where our company found mud splits in the images from a previous vehicle parking placement, and quickly went back given that this was such a significant exploration. At other opportunities it was actually very carefully planned, such as the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily watch in this particular video coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Over the last few preparation cycles, it is actually additional of the latter as our experts made our technique from Invention Epitome, where our team performed sol 4253, "Merely travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" and also reaching "Kings Canyon," our drill site, which we met on sol 4257. You can adhere to all the activity of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the blogging sites. It took a while-- it consistently performs-- considering that it's a task along with numerous actions and investigations to complete. Our team in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Canyon! We left on sol 4283, went back using "Cathedral Top," as well as are actually right now near the Revelation Peak location once again. After that little bit of hike by means of the past history of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, particularly the incredibly last one, let's look at today's plan.
