Sols 4255-4256: Merely Travelling through

.Locating our own selves lower than a gauge from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a very knowledgeable strategy: Beginning along with an upper arm basis for taking out dust as well as making use of APXS to check out a bedrock aim at called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending just over an hour on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and lastly a ride in the afternoon. These programs, dubbed "touch-and-go" programs, are actually generally busy at the start and reduce at the end. Our drive this moment is considered to go ~ 10 gauges practically completely east and leaving our moving virtually wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are well on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to position our practice, our team could be staying for yet another two weeks while our company try as well as pick up yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as due to the fact that our team steer in reverse with the arm occupying the rear end, our experts may even have a workspace we have actually actually driven over - hopefully subjecting some inner base also before exploration.
