Sols 4255-4256: Just Travelling through

.Discovering our own selves less than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a quite knowledgeable strategy: Beginning along with an upper arm backbone for removing dirt and also using APXS to examine a base intended called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, spending just over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as ultimately a ride in the afternoon. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are actually normally occupied at the beginning and slow in the end. Our travel this time around is intended to go ~ 10 meters practically flawlessly east as well as leaving our moving virtually completely west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually steadily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough base surface area to put our drill, our team may be staying put for yet another pair of weeks while our experts attempt as well as pick up yet another Gediz Vallis stations example. And due to the fact that our company steer back along with the arm taking up the rear end, our experts might even have a workspace our team have actually actually steered over - ideally subjecting some interior bedrock also prior to boring.
