Sols 4255-4256: Just Going through

.Discovering our own selves less than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a quite familiar strategy: Starting along with an arm basis for getting rid of dust as well as making use of APXS to check out a bedrock aim at named "Russell Pass," putting the upper arm out of the way for imaging, investing merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, as well as finally a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to "touch-and-go" plannings, are actually typically busy at the start and also decrease at the end. Our ride this time around is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters almost completely eastern and also leaving our heading nearly wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are actually solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface to position our practice, our experts may be remaining for yet another two weeks while our experts try and also pick up one more Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as due to the fact that our company drive back along with the branch using up the rear end, we may even have an office we've already steered over - ideally revealing some internal base also prior to exploration.
