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

.The Drill Sol 1 strategy has two reasons-- 1st to find out if our target, Kings Canyon, satisfies the scientific research staffs standards for tasting-- for instance, is it compositionally intriguing? The second goal is to identify if the rock as well as specific aim for, are actually secure to drill can easily it manage the forces coming from the exercise, as an example. We phone this activity a "drill preload exam." Therefore, the main activities in today's planning are actually the preload examination and also contact scientific research on Kings Gulch-- we will first comb the target to eliminate surface area dust and afterwards take close-up imaging along with our MAHLI musical instrument and compositional information along with our APXS instrument.
