Sols 4255-4256: Just Travelling through

.Discovering ourselves less than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a really familiar program: Beginning along with an arm basis for eliminating dust and also making use of APXS to check out a base target named "Russell Elapsed," placing the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, spending merely over an hour on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm foundation for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and finally a ride in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to "touch-and-go" programs, are actually usually hectic at the beginning and also reduce in the end. Our ride this time around is actually prepared to go ~ 10 gauges almost completely eastern and leaving our moving just about wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are actually solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough base area to position our exercise, our experts could be sitting tight for one more pair of weeks while we make an effort and pick up another Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as given that our company drive back along with the arm taking up the back, our team might even have a work area our team've actually driven over - perhaps revealing some internal base even just before exploration.
