.Our company are back ... just about, anyways. Today's car park location is actually really close to where we parked on sol 4253, and also in an area near some of the previous get in touch with scientific research targets "Exploration Epitome." You may go through in this blog post that the majority of the crew, this blogger consisted of, resided in Pasadena for our group conference when we were final in this field. That was July and also Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Returning is actually an incredibly rare celebration and also is actually consistently organized very carefully. One or two times during the course of the final 12 years it took place since our company saw one thing "in the rear mirror." Among the examples is actually the target "Old Cloudburst," where our experts found mud gaps in the photos coming from a previous parking placement, and also without delay got back considering that this was actually such a crucial discovery. At other times it was actually carefully intended, such as the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily watch within this online video from as long back as Earth year 2015. Previously few preparing cycles, it's even more of the latter as our company made our means coming from Discovery Epitome, where our company got on sol 4253, "Simply travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" and also getting to "Kings Gulch," our drill location, which our experts achieved on sol 4257. You can comply with all the activity of the exploration at Kings Canyon on the weblogs. It took a while-- it constantly carries out-- since it's a task with lots of actions as well as inspections to finish. Our experts actually commemorated Curiosity's 12th special day at Kings Gulch! Our team departed on sol 4283, returned using "Cathedral Peak," and are actually right now near the Exploration Epitome site again. Afterwards little bit of hike through the record of (some) of Inquisitiveness's walkabouts, specifically the extremely final one, let's look at today's planning.
