Sols 4257-4258: A Little Poke on Kings Gulch

.The Exercise Sol 1 program has two objectives-- 1st to figure out if our target, Kings Gulch, complies with the science groups criteria for sampling-- as an example, is it compositionally intriguing? The 2nd goal is actually to figure out if the stone and also certain target, are secure to bore may it handle the forces from the exercise, for example. Our experts contact this activity a "practice preload exam." Consequently, the major tasks in today's program are actually the preload exam and also contact scientific research on Kings Canyon-- our team will initially brush the target to remove surface area dirt and afterwards take close-up imaging with our MAHLI instrument and compositional records with our APXS tool.
