Sols 4255-4256: Simply Going through

.Locating ourselves lower than a gauge coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on an incredibly familiar program: Beginning with an upper arm backbone for getting rid of dirt and also utilizing APXS to examine a base aim at named "Russell Pass," positioning the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting just over an hour on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more upper arm basis for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as ultimately a travel in the mid-day. These programs, referred to as "touch-and-go" programs, are actually usually active at the start as well as reduce at the end. Our travel this moment is actually planned to go ~ 10 meters practically flawlessly eastern and also leaving our heading nearly flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are steadily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to put our drill, our team might be remaining for an additional pair of weeks while our company attempt and pick up another Gediz Vallis channel example. And also because our company steer back with the arm using up the rear end, our team could also have a work environment our team've presently steered over - perhaps leaving open some inner bedrock even prior to drilling.
