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

.The Drill Sol 1 planning possesses 2 functions-- very first to identify if our target, Kings Canyon, meets the scientific research crews requirements for tasting-- for instance, is it compositionally interesting? The 2nd objective is actually to determine if the stone as well as certain aim for, are risk-free to drill can it handle the troops coming from the practice, for instance. We contact this activity a "practice preload test." Therefore, the primary tasks in today's planning are the preload examination and also get in touch with science on Kings Canyon-- we will first clean the intended to take out surface dust and afterwards take view image resolution along with our MAHLI equipment as well as compositional information with our APXS tool.
