Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Discovering our own selves lower than a gauge from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a quite knowledgeable strategy: Beginning with an upper arm foundation for clearing away dirt as well as making use of APXS to check out a base target named "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for imaging, devoting only over an hour on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another arm foundation for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a travel in the afternoon. These plans, referred to as "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually usually active at the beginning and slow down at the end. Our drive this moment is actually considered to go ~ 10 meters just about completely east as well as leaving our heading almost flawlessly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually steadily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface to put our practice, we might be staying put for yet another 2 full weeks while we try as well as pick up an additional Gediz Vallis channel example. And considering that our experts steer in reverse with the arm occupying the back, our experts could even possess an office our experts've presently driven over - with any luck revealing some internal base even prior to boring.
