.Our experts are actually back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car parking location is actually quite near where we positioned on sol 4253, and also in a location near among the previous call science targets "Exploration Peak." You can read through in this blog post that the majority of the team, this blog writer included, was in Pasadena for our staff conference when our team were final in this field. That was actually July and also Interest was about to switch 12 on Mars. Returning is a very uncommon celebration and also is actually constantly intended thoroughly. One or two times throughout the last 12 years it took place since our team observed one thing "in the rear mirror." Some of the instances is actually the intended "Old Cloudburst," where our team identified mud cracks in the photos from a previous auto parking placement, as well as immediately returned since this was such an essential discovery. At various other opportunities it was very carefully organized, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can watch in this particular video recording coming from as long back as The planet year 2015. Previously couple of planning cycles, it is actually more of the latter as our team created our means coming from Finding Peak, where our team were on sol 4253, "Simply travelling through" "Russell Pass" and reaching "Kings Canyon," our practice place, which we reached on sol 4257. You may follow all the action of the exploration at Kings Gulch on the weblogs. It took a while-- it always performs-- given that it is actually an activity along with many measures and examinations to finish. Our team really celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Gulch! Our experts left on sol 4283, came back through "Basilica Peak," as well as are actually right now near the Revelation Epitome area once again. After that little bit of hike with the record of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, specifically the incredibly final one, permit's look at today's plan.
