Sols 4255-4256: Just Going through

.Finding ourselves lower than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a quite familiar planning: Beginning with an arm basis for removing dirt and also utilizing APXS to look into a base aim at called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, investing merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more upper arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and eventually a travel in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to as "touch-and-go" programs, are actually usually hectic at the start and reduce at the end. Our travel this time is actually prepared to go ~ 10 meters almost perfectly eastern and leaving our heading almost perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough bedrock area to position our exercise, our team could be staying for another two weeks while our experts try and also collect another Gediz Vallis stations sample. And also given that our experts steer in reverse along with the arm taking up the rear, our team might also possess an office our company've actually driven over - perhaps revealing some interior base even prior to exploration.
