Sols 4255-4256: Simply Going through

.Locating our own selves less than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our experts started on a very knowledgeable strategy: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for taking out dirt as well as utilizing APXS to explore a base aim at called "Russell Pass," placing the arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting only over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm foundation for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and finally a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" plannings, are actually commonly active at the beginning and slow at the end. Our ride this time around is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges nearly perfectly east as well as leaving our moving practically wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are well on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface to put our drill, our company may be remaining for an additional two weeks while our company try as well as accumulate one more Gediz Vallis network example. And given that we steer backwards along with the branch using up the back, our company could even possess a work area we've currently driven over - perhaps exposing some interior bedrock even before drilling.
