Sols 4257-4258: A Little Push on Kings Gulch

.The Drill Sol 1 planning has two objectives-- very first to establish if our target, Kings Gulch, fulfills the science crews criteria for testing-- for example, is it compositionally exciting? The 2nd objective is to find out if the rock and specific aim for, are actually safe to drill can it handle the troops from the drill, as an example. We phone this activity a "exercise preload test." As a result, the main tasks in today's planning are actually the preload test and also contact scientific research on Kings Canyon-- our team will certainly initially comb the aim at to get rid of area dirt and after that take close-up imaging with our MAHLI instrument and compositional records along with our APXS instrument.
