Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves less than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on an incredibly acquainted plan: Beginning along with an arm backbone for removing dust as well as utilizing APXS to check out a base intended named "Russell Elapsed," putting the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, investing just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more upper arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and ultimately a drive in the afternoon. These programs, referred to as "touch-and-go" plans, are usually busy at the start and decrease at the end. Our drive this moment is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges almost completely eastern and also leaving our moving almost completely west. If on Friday, our tires are well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to position our drill, our experts might be sitting tight for yet another pair of full weeks while we attempt and also collect another Gediz Vallis channel sample. As well as given that we steer in reverse along with the arm taking up the back, our team could also have a work space our team have actually presently steered over - hopefully leaving open some inner bedrock also before exploration.
