Sols 4255-4256: Only Going through

.Finding our own selves less than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly knowledgeable planning: Beginning with an arm foundation for taking out dust as well as using APXS to check out a bedrock intended called "Russell Elapsed," positioning the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, spending merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another upper arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also lastly a travel in the afternoon. These plannings, referred to as "touch-and-go" programs, are often active at the beginning and also decrease in the end. Our drive this time is actually organized to go ~ 10 gauges practically flawlessly eastern as well as leaving our heading practically perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually steadily on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough base surface to place our drill, our experts might be remaining for yet another pair of full weeks while our team make an effort as well as accumulate one more Gediz Vallis network example. As well as due to the fact that our experts steer back along with the branch taking up the back, our team could also have an office our company've presently steered over - hopefully subjecting some interior bedrock also prior to exploration.
