Sols 4257-4258: A Little Poke on Kings Canyon

.The Drill Sol 1 strategy possesses pair of functions-- very first to calculate if our target, Kings Canyon, complies with the scientific research groups standards for sampling-- for instance, is it compositionally appealing? The 2nd objective is actually to identify if the rock and certain target, are actually risk-free to drill can it take care of the forces coming from the exercise, for instance. Our experts call this task a "practice preload examination." Therefore, the main activities in today's planning are the preload exam as well as contact science on Kings Gulch-- our team will first clean the target to eliminate surface area dust and after that take close-up image resolution along with our MAHLI equipment as well as compositional data with our APXS musical instrument.
