Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Getting through the ruggedized, demanding Martian surface is actually always a challenge, as well as our current try to connect with the "Lambs Spring" target highlights this. Our experts had actually gone for small, distant vivid stones, however coming from 50 meters away (concerning 164 feets), the restricted resolution of our pictures produced it complicated to adjust navigating. After a determined ride, the rover came agonizingly close-- stopping merely short of these little brilliant stones. The stones, along with their distinguishing pivoted and matched "surviving" pattern (imagined), highly are similar to elemental sulfur shuts out that we have actually experienced before. Frustratingly, although the intended stones corrected under the main steering wheel and also clearly obvious in our navigation electronic cameras, they continued to be contemporary of range of the rover's division.
