.Our team are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's auto parking site is actually really close to where our company parked on sol 4253, and in a place near some of the previous contact scientific research targets "Exploration Epitome." You can read within this blog that the majority of the crew, this blog owner featured, resided in Pasadena for our team meeting when our company were actually final in this field. That was actually July as well as Curiosity was about to transform 12 on Mars. Going back is an extremely rare event as well as is constantly intended very carefully. Once or twice during the final 12 years it happened because we found one thing "in the back looking glass." Among the instances is actually the target "Old Soaker," where we detected dirt splits in the graphics coming from a previous auto parking position, as well as immediately got back due to the fact that this was actually such an essential revelation. At other opportunities it was actually thoroughly considered, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily enjoy in this video clip coming from as long back as Planet year 2015. Before few preparation patterns, it is actually additional of the last as our company created our method from Discovery Epitome, where we were on sol 4253, "Just passing through" "Russell Elapsed" and coming to "Kings Gulch," our exercise place, which we reached on sol 4257. You can follow all the activity of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the blogs. It took an even though-- it always does-- due to the fact that it's an activity with a lot of steps and also investigations to accomplish. We in fact celebrated Inquisitiveness's 12th birthday party at Kings Canyon! We left on sol 4283, returned through "Basilica Peak," and also are right now near the Exploration Peak area once again. Afterwards little hike through the past history of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, specifically the quite last one, allow's consider today's program.
