Sols 4255-4256: Just Passing Through

.Finding our own selves lower than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a very knowledgeable program: Beginning with an upper arm basis for taking out dust and also utilizing APXS to check out a base target named "Russell Pass," placing the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, devoting just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and eventually a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" plannings, are typically busy at the start and also decrease at the end. Our drive this time is organized to go ~ 10 meters nearly completely eastern and leaving our moving almost flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough bedrock surface to put our drill, our team might be sitting tight for an additional pair of full weeks while our experts make an effort as well as collect yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as considering that our experts drive back with the branch taking up the back, our company could also have a workspace our team've actually steered over - hopefully leaving open some interior base also prior to exploration.
