.Our team are back ... virtually, anyways. Today's car parking location is actually extremely near where our experts positioned on sol 4253, as well as in a place near one of the previous contact scientific research targets "Revelation Peak." You can easily review in this blog post that most of the team, this blog owner featured, was in Pasadena for our crew meeting when our team were actually final in this field. That was July as well as Curiosity was about to transform 12 on Mars. Returning is actually an incredibly unusual event and is always planned meticulously. Once or twice in the course of the final 12 years it occurred due to the fact that our company saw one thing "in the rear mirror." Some of the examples is actually the intended "Old Cloudburst," where our company detected mud splits in the graphics from a previous car park position, and immediately returned since this was such a crucial exploration. At various other times it was thoroughly planned, such as the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may check out within this video from as lengthy back as Earth year 2015. Previously handful of organizing patterns, it is actually more of the latter as we made our way coming from Breakthrough Pinnacle, where we got on sol 4253, "Merely passing through" "Russell Successfully pass" and also arriving at "Kings Gulch," our exercise site, which we achieved on sol 4257. You can follow all the action of the boring at Kings Canyon on the weblogs. It took an even though-- it regularly carries out-- due to the fact that it is actually an activity with lots of measures and investigations to accomplish. Our company actually commemorated Inquisitiveness's 12th birthday at Kings Canyon! Our company left on sol 4283, returned via "Basilica Top," as well as are actually currently near the Revelation Pinnacle site once again. Afterwards little bit of walkabout by means of the background of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, specifically the very final one, allow's consider today's planning.
