.We are back ... almost, anyways. Today's car park location is actually extremely near where our experts stationed on sol 4253, and also in a region near among the previous connect with scientific research targets "Exploration Epitome." You can review in this blog that the majority of the team, this blog writer featured, was in Pasadena for our crew conference when we were final in this field. That was July and also Curiosity will turn 12 on Mars. Coming back is a very rare celebration and is consistently organized carefully. Once or twice during the last 12 years it took place given that we observed one thing "in the rear looking glass." Among the instances is actually the intended "Old Cloudburst," where we found dirt cracks in the photos coming from a previous car parking placement, and also quickly returned because this was actually such a significant revelation. At various other times it was actually properly intended, such as the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may see in this video coming from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Previously few preparation cycles, it's more of the second as our team made our technique from Invention Pinnacle, where our team were on sol 4253, "Just going through" "Russell Elapsed" and also reaching "Kings Canyon," our practice site, which our experts reached on sol 4257. You can adhere to all the action of the boring at Kings Gulch on the blogs. It took an although-- it constantly carries out-- because it is actually an activity along with many steps as well as inspections to accomplish. Our experts really celebrated Interest's 12th special day at Kings Canyon! Our team departed on sol 4283, came back by means of "Sanctuary Peak," and are currently near the Revelation Epitome place once again. Afterwards little bit of walkabout with the history of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, especially the quite final one, allow's look at today's program.
