Sols 4255-4256: Simply Going through

.Finding ourselves less than a gauge from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we began on a very familiar planning: Starting with an upper arm foundation for getting rid of dust as well as using APXS to examine a base intended named "Russell Pass," placing the arm out of the way for imaging, devoting only over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and ultimately a ride in the mid-day. These plannings, termed "touch-and-go" programs, are actually often busy at the beginning as well as slow down at the end. Our ride this moment is actually considered to go ~ 10 gauges nearly completely eastern and also leaving our moving virtually perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are steadily on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base surface to position our drill, our team may be staying for an additional 2 weeks while we try and also collect yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. And also since our company drive backwards along with the arm occupying the back, our experts may also have a workspace our experts've actually steered over - perhaps subjecting some inner base even prior to drilling.
