.We are actually back ... nearly, anyways. Today's parking area is actually very near where our experts positioned on sol 4253, and also in a region near some of the previous connect with scientific research targets "Revelation Epitome." You can easily review in this post that most of the group, this writer consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our staff meeting when we were actually final around. That was July and also Inquisitiveness will switch 12 on Mars. Returning is an extremely unusual celebration and is actually consistently prepared carefully. One or two times throughout the last 12 years it occurred since our company observed one thing "in the back mirror." One of the examples is actually the intended "Old Soaker," where our team detected dirt gaps in the images coming from a previous auto parking placement, and also without delay got back given that this was such a significant exploration. At other opportunities it was actually carefully intended, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you may check out in this particular video recording coming from as lengthy back as Earth year 2015. Previously few planning cycles, it is actually additional of the last as we created our technique from Finding Pinnacle, where we were on sol 4253, "Just travelling through" "Russell Elapsed" and also getting to "Kings Gulch," our practice site, which our team met on sol 4257. You can easily comply with all the activity of the drilling at Kings Gulch on the blog sites. It took an although-- it constantly performs-- because it is actually an activity with lots of actions and also inspections to complete. Our company really celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Canyon! Our experts left on sol 4283, came back by means of "Sanctuary Top," and are actually currently near the Discovery Epitome location once again. After that little bit of walkabout with the background of (some) of Inquisitiveness's hikes, especially the extremely last one, let's examine today's program.
