Sols 4255-4256: Just Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves lower than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a really familiar program: Starting with an arm basis for removing dirt and utilizing APXS to investigate a base aim at named "Russell Pass," putting the arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to "touch-and-go" plans, are typically busy at the beginning as well as slow by the end. Our ride this moment is actually intended to go ~ 10 gauges almost perfectly eastern and also leaving our moving just about flawlessly west. If on Friday, our wheels are well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough base surface to place our exercise, our company could be sitting tight for yet another pair of full weeks while our company make an effort and gather one more Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as because our experts steer back with the arm taking up the rear, we might also possess a work space our team have actually actually steered over - perhaps leaving open some inner bedrock also just before boring.
