.We are back ... almost, anyways. Today's car parking area is really near where we stationed on sol 4253, as well as in a location near some of the previous contact science targets "Exploration Peak." You may review within this blog post that the majority of the group, this blog owner consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our team appointment when we were actually last in this area. That was July and Curiosity was about to turn 12 on Mars. Going back is a very uncommon affair as well as is actually constantly considered very carefully. Once or twice during the final 12 years it took place given that our company observed something "in the back looking glass." One of the instances is actually the target "Old Soaker," where our team spotted mud cracks in the graphics from a previous auto parking posture, and quickly returned since this was such an important exploration. At other opportunities it was properly organized, like the "walkabout" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can easily check out in this video from as long back as Earth year 2015. Before few planning patterns, it's more of the latter as our team created our technique coming from Breakthrough Epitome, where our experts were on sol 4253, "Simply passing through" "Russell Pass" and getting to "Kings Canyon," our practice site, which our experts reached on sol 4257. You can easily observe all the action of the drilling at Kings Gulch on the blog sites. It took an although-- it always does-- because it is actually a task with several actions and examinations to accomplish. We in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Canyon! Our team departed on sol 4283, went back via "Cathedral Top," as well as are actually now near the Exploration Peak location once again. Afterwards little bit of walkabout by means of the past of (some) of Interest's walkabouts, specifically the very final one, let's take a look at today's strategy.
