Sols 4255-4256: Only Going through

.Finding our own selves lower than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on a very knowledgeable strategy: Beginning along with an arm backbone for removing dust and also utilizing APXS to examine a bedrock intended called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and lastly a travel in the mid-day. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" plans, are generally occupied at the start as well as slow down in the end. Our drive this time around is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges just about perfectly eastern and also leaving our moving virtually completely west. If on Friday, our tires are solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to put our exercise, our company might be staying put for one more two weeks while we try and pick up another Gediz Vallis stations example. And due to the fact that we drive backwards with the arm taking up the back, our company might also have an office our company have actually already steered over - perhaps revealing some internal bedrock even prior to boring.
