Sols 4257-4258: A Little Poke on Kings Gulch

.The Drill Sol 1 strategy possesses pair of reasons-- first to determine if our aim for, Kings Canyon, complies with the scientific research groups requirements for sampling-- for example, is it compositionally fascinating? The 2nd goal is to establish if the rock and also certain target, are safe to drill can easily it handle the troops from the practice, for example. We call this task a "exercise preload test." Consequently, the primary tasks in today's program are actually the preload examination and get in touch with scientific research on Kings Gulch-- we will certainly initially comb the target to remove surface dust and after that take close-up imaging with our MAHLI musical instrument and compositional data with our APXS guitar.
