Sols 4255-4256: Just Travelling through

.Locating ourselves lower than a meter from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a quite acquainted program: Beginning with an upper arm backbone for eliminating dirt and utilizing APXS to check out a bedrock intended called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the arm out of the way for imaging, devoting only over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also lastly a ride in the mid-day. These strategies, nicknamed "touch-and-go" plans, are actually usually active at the start and decrease by the end. Our drive this time around is intended to go ~ 10 gauges just about wonderfully eastern as well as leaving our moving practically flawlessly west. If on Friday, our wheels are solidly on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock area to put our drill, our experts may be remaining for another two weeks while our team attempt as well as accumulate another Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as because our team steer in reverse with the arm occupying the back, our experts might also have a work area our team have actually currently driven over - hopefully subjecting some internal bedrock also before drilling.
