Sols 4257-4258: A Little Bit Of Nudge on Kings Gulch

.The Exercise Sol 1 plan has 2 functions-- initial to establish if our target, Kings Gulch, complies with the scientific research groups requirements for tasting-- as an example, is it compositionally interesting? The second purpose is to figure out if the rock and specific aim for, are risk-free to bore can it manage the forces coming from the drill, for example. We call this activity a "drill preload test." Consequently, the key tasks in today's program are the preload examination and also get in touch with scientific research on Kings Gulch-- our team will certainly initially brush the aim at to eliminate surface area dust and afterwards take close-up imaging with our MAHLI equipment and compositional data with our APXS equipment.
