Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Finding our own selves less than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a very knowledgeable planning: Beginning with an upper arm foundation for removing dirt as well as making use of APXS to check out a bedrock target named "Russell Elapsed," putting the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing just over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also lastly a ride in the afternoon. These programs, referred to "touch-and-go" programs, are actually commonly hectic at the beginning and slow down at the end. Our ride this time around is considered to go ~ 10 meters almost completely east and also leaving our heading nearly wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are steadily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to put our exercise, our team could be remaining for one more two full weeks while we make an effort as well as pick up another Gediz Vallis network example. As well as due to the fact that our team steer back along with the arm using up the rear, our experts might even have a workspace our company have actually currently driven over - ideally revealing some interior base even before drilling.
