.We are actually back ... just about, anyways. Today's car parking site is very near where our company stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a location near among the previous get in touch with science targets "Discovery Pinnacle." You may read in this particular blog post that many of the crew, this writer featured, remained in Pasadena for our group meeting when our experts were last in this area. That was actually July and also Interest was about to turn 12 on Mars. Coming back is a quite rare affair and also is actually constantly intended very carefully. Once or twice during the course of the final 12 years it occurred due to the fact that our company observed one thing "in the rear looking glass." Some of the examples is the aim at "Old Cloudburst," where our company identified mud cracks in the photos from a previous vehicle parking posture, and immediately went back since this was such a significant revelation. At various other times it was meticulously planned, such as the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can enjoy in this particular online video coming from as long back as The planet year 2015. Over the last handful of organizing patterns, it's additional of the latter as our team created our technique coming from Breakthrough Epitome, where we performed sol 4253, "Just going through" "Russell Elapsed" as well as arriving at "Kings Gulch," our exercise area, which we achieved on sol 4257. You can easily observe all the activity of the drilling at Kings Canyon on the weblogs. It took a while-- it regularly carries out-- given that it's an activity with a lot of measures and investigations to complete. We in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Canyon! Our team departed on sol 4283, returned via "Sanctuary Top," and also are actually currently near the Discovery Peak area again. Afterwards little walkabout with the history of (some) of Interest's hikes, specifically the really final one, permit's check out today's program.
