.We are actually back ... almost, anyways. Today's vehicle parking location is actually really near where our company parked on sol 4253, and also in a place near some of the previous get in touch with science targets "Revelation Epitome." You can check out in this blog post that most of the group, this blogger consisted of, remained in Pasadena for our staff conference when our experts were actually last in this area. That was July and also Inquisitiveness was about to switch 12 on Mars. Returning is actually an extremely unusual celebration and is always organized properly. One or two times during the final 12 years it occurred because our experts saw one thing "in the back mirror." Among the instances is the aim at "Old Cloudburst," where our company detected dirt fractures in the graphics coming from a previous car parking placement, and also promptly returned given that this was actually such an important revelation. At various other opportunities it was actually thoroughly organized, such as the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can see in this video coming from as lengthy back as Planet year 2015. Over the last handful of planning cycles, it is actually even more of the latter as we created our means from Discovery Pinnacle, where our company were on sol 4253, "Merely going through" "Russell Pass" as well as coming to "Kings Canyon," our exercise area, which our experts achieved on sol 4257. You can observe all the action of the boring at Kings Gulch on the weblogs. It took an although-- it always carries out-- due to the fact that it is actually an activity with several steps as well as examinations to accomplish. Our company in fact celebrated Inquisitiveness's 12th birthday celebration at Kings Canyon! Our company departed on sol 4283, returned using "Cathedral Peak," and are actually now near the Exploration Pinnacle place once again. After that little hike through the past of (some) of Curiosity's walkabouts, especially the very last one, let's examine today's planning.
