Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Locating ourselves less than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a quite familiar planning: Beginning with an upper arm backbone for clearing away dust and also making use of APXS to check out a base target called "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing only over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a drive in the afternoon. These plannings, nicknamed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually usually hectic at the start and decrease at the end. Our ride this time is actually intended to go ~ 10 gauges almost completely eastern as well as leaving our moving just about flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually well on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough base area to place our practice, we might be sitting tight for yet another pair of full weeks while our experts try and accumulate yet another Gediz Vallis stations sample. And considering that our company steer backwards with the branch using up the rear end, we might also have an office we have actually currently driven over - hopefully subjecting some inner bedrock also just before drilling.
