Sols 4255-4256: Just Passing Through

.Finding our own selves less than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our experts started on a very acquainted planning: Beginning along with an arm foundation for getting rid of dirt as well as using APXS to explore a bedrock intended called "Russell Pass," putting the arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting just over an hour on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more upper arm basis for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as eventually a travel in the mid-day. These programs, dubbed "touch-and-go" programs, are typically busy at the beginning and also slow down by the end. Our travel this time is planned to go ~ 10 meters just about wonderfully east as well as leaving our moving almost wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually steadily on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to put our exercise, our company may be staying for yet another two weeks while we make an effort and accumulate an additional Gediz Vallis network example. And because our company steer in reverse with the branch occupying the rear, our company might even have a work space we have actually presently driven over - hopefully subjecting some interior bedrock even prior to exploration.
