Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Finding our own selves less than a gauge from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a really knowledgeable strategy: Beginning with an upper arm backbone for removing dust and also utilizing APXS to check out a bedrock target called "Russell Elapsed," 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 one more arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a ride in the mid-day. These plans, called "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually often hectic at the start and slow down at the end. Our ride this time around is organized to go ~ 10 gauges almost wonderfully east and leaving our moving nearly wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are steadily on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base surface area to put our drill, our experts could be remaining for an additional two weeks while our experts make an effort and also pick up one more Gediz Vallis stations sample. And also considering that our team drive back along with the branch taking up the rear end, our experts might even have a work space our team have actually presently driven over - ideally revealing some inner base even before exploration.
