Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Finding ourselves lower than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a very acquainted plan: Starting with an upper arm foundation for eliminating dirt as well as using APXS to investigate a base aim at called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also lastly a travel in the mid-day. These plans, dubbed "touch-and-go" strategies, are normally active at the start as well as decrease in the end. Our travel this time around is actually prepared to go ~ 10 meters practically flawlessly eastern and leaving our moving practically perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually steadily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface to position our exercise, our team might be sitting tight for one more 2 weeks while our company try and also pick up yet another Gediz Vallis network sample. And also because our company drive back with the branch occupying the rear end, our experts might also have a workspace our company've presently steered over - ideally leaving open some internal bedrock even before exploration.
