.Our company are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's vehicle parking place is actually very near to where we parked on sol 4253, and also in a place near one of the previous connect with science targets "Revelation Epitome." You can easily go through in this post that many of the group, this blog writer featured, was in Pasadena for our group meeting when our company were last around. That was actually July as well as Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually an extremely uncommon celebration and is actually always intended properly. One or two times during the course of the final 12 years it occurred considering that our team viewed one thing "in the back looking glass." Some of the examples is actually the target "Old Cloudburst," where our team detected dirt gaps in the pictures from a previous car parking position, and quickly returned since this was such a vital exploration. At other opportunities it was thoroughly prepared, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily view in this particular video clip coming from as long back as The planet year 2015. In the past couple of preparation patterns, it's more of the latter as our experts created our technique from Breakthrough Peak, where our team performed sol 4253, "Only travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" and also arriving at "Kings Canyon," our practice site, which our team met on sol 4257. You can comply with all the activity of the drilling at Kings Gulch on the blog posts. It took an although-- it regularly does-- given that it is actually a task with a lot of actions and also examinations to finish. Our company in fact commemorated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Canyon! We left on sol 4283, came back by means of "Basilica Peak," and also are currently near the Revelation Peak place again. After that little hike via the history of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, specifically the quite final one, permit's take a look at today's plan.
