Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves lower than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on an incredibly familiar planning: Beginning along with an arm foundation for removing dirt and making use of APXS to examine a bedrock aim at named "Russell Pass," placing the arm out of the way for image resolution, spending merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also finally a drive in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to as "touch-and-go" plans, are usually busy at the start and slow in the end. Our ride this time around is considered to go ~ 10 gauges practically flawlessly east and leaving our heading just about wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base area to put our drill, our team could be staying put for one more pair of full weeks while our team try and also gather an additional Gediz Vallis channel sample. And also because our experts drive in reverse with the branch taking up the rear end, our experts could also have a work area our company've already steered over - hopefully subjecting some interior bedrock even just before drilling.
