.Our experts are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's auto parking place is actually extremely near where our team positioned on sol 4253, and in a region near among the previous call science targets "Revelation Epitome." You can easily review within this post that the majority of the team, this blogger included, was in Pasadena for our crew meeting when our team were actually final around. That was July and also Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Coming back is actually an extremely rare occasion and also is actually consistently intended very carefully. One or two times in the course of the final 12 years it happened due to the fact that our team observed something "in the back looking glass." One of the examples is actually the intended "Old Cloudburst," where we identified dirt cracks in the pictures from a previous car parking position, as well as immediately went back given that this was actually such an important exploration. At other times it was actually very carefully considered, such as the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can see in this video clip from as long back as Earth year 2015. Over the last handful of organizing patterns, it's even more of the second as our team made our technique from Discovery Peak, where we got on sol 4253, "Only passing through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also arriving at "Kings Canyon," our drill place, which we met on sol 4257. You can easily adhere to all the action of the exploration at Kings Gulch on the weblogs. It took an although-- it regularly carries out-- since it is actually an activity along with lots of steps and examinations to accomplish. Our team actually celebrated Interest's 12th birthday at Kings Gulch! Our team left on sol 4283, went back through "Basilica Top," and are currently near the Revelation Peak site once again. After that little walkabout with the history of (some) of Interest's hikes, particularly the really last one, allow's take a look at today's planning.
