Sols 4255-4256: Merely Travelling through

.Locating ourselves less than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a very knowledgeable planning: Starting with an arm backbone for getting rid of dirt and using APXS to explore a base target called "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending simply over a hr on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another upper arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also lastly a travel in the afternoon. These plans, referred to as "touch-and-go" strategies, are commonly hectic at the beginning as well as slow in the end. Our travel this moment is actually intended to go ~ 10 gauges practically wonderfully east as well as leaving our moving just about flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface to place our drill, our experts may be staying put for yet another two full weeks while our team try and also pick up another Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as considering that we steer back with the branch taking up the back, we might even have a work area our team have actually actually steered over - hopefully revealing some interior base also before boring.
