Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves less than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly familiar strategy: Starting along with an upper arm backbone for eliminating dirt as well as using APXS to check out a bedrock intended called "Russell Elapsed," placing the arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more upper arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also eventually a drive in the afternoon. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" programs, are usually busy at the start and also slow in the end. Our ride this time around is prepared to go ~ 10 gauges practically flawlessly eastern and also leaving our moving nearly wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface to place our exercise, our company could be remaining for another 2 full weeks while our company make an effort as well as accumulate an additional Gediz Vallis network example. As well as considering that we steer back with the arm occupying the rear end, our team may even possess an office our team've actually driven over - ideally subjecting some internal bedrock even before exploration.
