Sols 4255-4256: Simply Travelling through

.Discovering our own selves less than a gauge coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on an extremely familiar strategy: Beginning along with an arm backbone for clearing away dirt as well as making use of APXS to investigate a bedrock aim at named "Russell Pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, spending only over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also ultimately a travel in the mid-day. These plans, referred to as "touch-and-go" strategies, are typically occupied at the start as well as reduce at the end. Our drive this moment is considered to go ~ 10 gauges just about flawlessly east and also leaving our moving practically perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to position our exercise, our company could be staying put for one more two weeks while we make an effort as well as collect one more Gediz Vallis stations sample. And also given that we steer in reverse with the branch using up the back, our experts might even possess an office our experts've currently driven over - hopefully revealing some inner bedrock also before drilling.
