Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Discovering our own selves lower than a gauge from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a very acquainted plan: Starting along with an upper arm basis for taking out dust as well as using APXS to investigate a bedrock target called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and finally a travel in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to "touch-and-go" plans, are generally active at the start as well as slow down in the end. Our drive this moment is planned to go ~ 10 gauges just about perfectly east as well as leaving our moving almost completely west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock surface to put our drill, our experts might be staying put for another 2 weeks while we make an effort as well as accumulate one more Gediz Vallis stations sample. And because our experts steer backwards along with the branch using up the rear, our experts may even possess a work space our team have actually already steered over - perhaps revealing some interior bedrock even just before exploration.
