Sols 4255-4256: Simply Passing Through

.Locating our own selves lower than a gauge coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our company started on a really familiar planning: Starting along with an upper arm basis for taking out dust as well as utilizing APXS to check out a base intended called "Russell Pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing only over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a ride in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually busy at the start and also slow down by the end. Our travel this moment is considered to go ~ 10 gauges practically wonderfully east and also leaving our moving virtually completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually steadily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface area to place our exercise, our company could be staying put for an additional pair of weeks while we make an effort and collect an additional Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as because our team steer in reverse with the branch occupying the rear, our team may even have a work area our team have actually already steered over - perhaps exposing some interior base also just before drilling.
