.We are actually back ... just about, anyways. Today's car parking area is actually quite close to where our experts stationed on sol 4253, and in an area near among the previous connect with scientific research targets "Revelation Epitome." You can easily review in this particular blog post that many of the crew, this blog writer featured, was in Pasadena for our crew conference when our team were actually final around. That was July and also Curiosity will switch 12 on Mars. Going back is actually a quite uncommon occasion and is regularly intended meticulously. One or two times throughout the last 12 years it occurred due to the fact that our experts viewed something "in the rear looking glass." One of the examples is the target "Old Soaker," where our experts detected dirt gaps in the photos from a previous car parking placement, and also without delay got back since this was actually such a significant exploration. At various other times it was actually thoroughly considered, including the "hike" at "Pink Cliffs," which you can check out in this particular video clip from as lengthy back as The planet year 2015. Previously few planning cycles, it's more of the latter as we created our means from Discovery Peak, where our company were on sol 4253, "Simply passing through" "Russell Pass" and coming to "Kings Gulch," our exercise location, which our experts reached on sol 4257. You can comply with all the action of the exploration at Kings Gulch on the blogs. It took a while-- it constantly performs-- since it's an activity along with many steps and also investigations to complete. We in fact celebrated Curiosity's 12th birthday party at Kings Gulch! We left on sol 4283, went back by means of "Sanctuary Top," as well as are actually currently near the Revelation Pinnacle area once again. After that little bit of walkabout via the past history of (some) of Interest's walkabouts, particularly the quite final one, permit's consider today's strategy.
