Sols 4257-4258: A Little Push on Kings Canyon

.The Drill Sol 1 program has 2 functions-- 1st to identify if our target, Kings Gulch, complies with the science staffs standards for testing-- for example, is it compositionally interesting? The second objective is actually to figure out if the stone and also certain target, are safe to pierce may it manage the forces from the drill, as an example. Our experts call this activity a "exercise preload test." For that reason, the primary tasks in today's program are the preload examination and call science on Kings Canyon-- our company are going to first clean the target to take out surface dust and afterwards take view imaging along with our MAHLI tool and compositional data along with our APXS tool.
