Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Finding our own selves lower than a gauge coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we began on a quite familiar planning: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for removing dirt as well as making use of APXS to explore a base intended called "Russell Elapsed," putting the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending just over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more upper arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also finally a travel in the mid-day. These strategies, referred to as "touch-and-go" programs, are generally occupied at the start as well as decrease by the end. Our ride this time around is actually considered to go ~ 10 gauges virtually perfectly eastern and leaving our heading practically completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base surface to place our drill, our team may be remaining for one more two full weeks while our company try and also accumulate one more Gediz Vallis stations example. And considering that we drive back along with the arm taking up the rear end, our team might also possess a work space our team have actually currently steered over - perhaps exposing some inner base also just before boring.
