Sols 4255-4256: Merely Going through

.Discovering our own selves lower than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our experts started on a quite acquainted planning: Beginning along with an arm foundation for getting rid of dirt and also using APXS to check out a base aim at called "Russell Elapsed," positioning the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another upper arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also ultimately a ride in the afternoon. These plannings, nicknamed "touch-and-go" plans, are often occupied at the start as well as decrease at the end. Our travel this moment is actually intended to go ~ 10 gauges nearly perfectly eastern as well as leaving our heading just about perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to place our practice, we could be remaining for one more pair of weeks while our experts attempt and also pick up one more Gediz Vallis stations sample. As well as considering that our experts steer back with the branch occupying the rear end, we might even possess a workspace our company have actually actually steered over - ideally subjecting some inner bedrock also prior to exploration.
