Sols 4255-4256: Just Passing Through

.Locating ourselves less than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a really acquainted program: Beginning with an arm foundation for getting rid of dirt as well as utilizing APXS to check out a base aim at called "Russell Successfully pass," placing the arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also finally a travel in the afternoon. These plans, dubbed "touch-and-go" plans, are generally hectic at the beginning and slow down by the end. Our travel this time is actually planned to go ~ 10 meters practically wonderfully east and also leaving our moving virtually perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base surface area to place our exercise, our company may be sitting tight for yet another 2 weeks while our experts attempt and collect another Gediz Vallis network example. As well as because our team drive back with the arm taking up the rear, our company might also possess a workspace our experts've actually steered over - ideally leaving open some inner base also before exploration.
