Sols 4255-4256: Merely Going through

.Locating our own selves lower than a gauge coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a quite familiar program: Beginning along with an arm backbone for getting rid of dirt and also using APXS to investigate a base target named "Russell Successfully pass," putting the arm out of the way for image resolution, investing simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another upper arm foundation for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and finally a ride in the mid-day. These strategies, called "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually occupied at the beginning and decrease at the end. Our ride this time is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges almost perfectly east as well as leaving our heading nearly perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to put our drill, our experts may be staying for an additional pair of full weeks while we make an effort and also gather yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. And also because we drive back along with the branch using up the back, we might also have a work area we've currently steered over - perhaps subjecting some interior bedrock also just before boring.
