Sols 4255-4256: Just Travelling through

.Locating ourselves lower than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a really acquainted strategy: Beginning with an upper arm foundation for clearing away dirt as well as utilizing APXS to look into a base target named "Russell Elapsed," placing the upper arm out of the way for imaging, investing merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm basis for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as eventually a drive in the mid-day. These strategies, termed "touch-and-go" plannings, are actually usually hectic at the beginning and also slow down at the end. Our drive this time is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges virtually wonderfully eastern and also leaving our heading just about flawlessly west. If on Friday, our wheels are sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base surface to position our exercise, our team may be remaining for an additional 2 full weeks while we attempt and also gather one more Gediz Vallis stations example. As well as due to the fact that our team drive in reverse along with the branch occupying the rear end, our experts may also possess a work area our team've currently steered over - with any luck subjecting some internal base even prior to boring.
