Sols 4316-4317: Searching for Sulfur

.Browsing the durable, harsh Martian surface is actually regularly an obstacle, as well as our current attempt to connect with the "Sheep Spring" intended highlights this. Our experts had actually gone for small, far-off bright rocks, yet from 50 gauges away (concerning 164 feet), the limited resolution of our photos created it tough to fine-tune navigating. After a determined travel, the vagabond happened uncomfortably close-- quiting just except these small bright stones. The rocks, along with their distinct rounded and also countered "weathering" design (visualized), definitely look like important sulfur blocks out that we have actually come across before. Frustratingly, although the intended rocks were right under the frontal steering wheel as well as precisely apparent in our navigation video cameras, they remained contemporary of scope of the rover's arm.
