.We are back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car parking area is actually very near where we positioned on sol 4253, as well as in a place near one of the previous get in touch with scientific research targets "Discovery Pinnacle." You can go through within this post that many of the team, this writer featured, remained in Pasadena for our crew appointment when our team were actually last in this area. That was July and Curiosity will switch 12 on Mars. Going back is actually a really rare celebration as well as is regularly intended properly. One or two times during the final 12 years it took place given that our experts found one thing "in the back looking glass." Among the examples is the intended "Old Cloudburst," where our team located mud gaps in the images coming from a previous parking position, and also quickly went back since this was such a significant discovery. At various other opportunities it was thoroughly planned, like the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily check out in this video from as lengthy back as Planet year 2015. Previously couple of preparation cycles, it's more of the latter as our company created our way coming from Discovery Epitome, where our experts got on sol 4253, "Merely passing through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also reaching "Kings Gulch," our exercise area, which our team achieved on sol 4257. You can comply with all the action of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the blog posts. It took a while-- it always does-- because it is actually an activity with a lot of actions and also examinations to accomplish. Our experts actually commemorated Curiosity's 12th special day at Kings Canyon! We left on sol 4283, came back via "Cathedral Peak," as well as are actually right now near the Revelation Peak place once more. Afterwards little bit of walkabout with the past of (some) of Interest's walkabouts, particularly the incredibly last one, allow's examine today's strategy.
