.Our experts are actually back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car parking site is extremely near to where our company parked on sol 4253, and also in a place near some of the previous call science targets "Discovery Epitome." You can easily read through within this blog post that most of the staff, this blogger included, resided in Pasadena for our team appointment when our experts were actually last around. That was actually July as well as Curiosity was about to transform 12 on Mars. Returning is an extremely unusual event as well as is actually constantly considered very carefully. One or two times throughout the last 12 years it took place considering that our company found something "in the rear looking glass." One of the instances is actually the intended "Old Soaker," where our experts detected mud splits in the graphics from a previous parking placement, as well as promptly went back because this was actually such a crucial discovery. At other times it was thoroughly prepared, including the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily enjoy in this particular video clip from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Over the last couple of planning cycles, it is actually even more of the last as our team created our technique from Discovery Peak, where our experts got on sol 4253, "Just going through" "Russell Pass" as well as coming to "Kings Canyon," our exercise place, which we reached on sol 4257. You can comply with all the activity of the boring at Kings Gulch on the blogs. It took an even though-- it always does-- because it's a task along with lots of actions as well as inspections to finish. Our company in fact commemorated Curiosity's 12th birthday at Kings Gulch! We left on sol 4283, came back via "Sanctuary Peak," and are actually right now near the Revelation Peak site once again. Afterwards little bit of walkabout through the past of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, especially the very final one, let's consider today's plan.
