Sols 4257-4258: A Little Poke on Kings Gulch

.The Practice Sol 1 strategy possesses 2 reasons-- very first to establish if our aim for, Kings Canyon, satisfies the scientific research crews criteria for sampling-- for instance, is it compositionally interesting? The 2nd purpose is to establish if the rock and particular aim for, are actually secure to punch can easily it deal with the forces coming from the exercise, for example. We contact this task a "drill preload test." For that reason, the main activities in today's strategy are the preload examination as well as contact science on Kings Canyon-- we will certainly initially brush the intended to remove surface area dust and after that take close-up imaging along with our MAHLI tool as well as compositional information along with our APXS musical instrument.
