Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Discovering our own selves lower than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on an incredibly knowledgeable planning: Starting with an arm foundation for eliminating dust as well as making use of APXS to explore a bedrock target called "Russell Elapsed," putting the arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing merely over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and eventually a travel in the mid-day. These programs, referred to as "touch-and-go" plannings, are typically occupied at the start and reduce at the end. Our drive this moment is considered to go ~ 10 gauges nearly flawlessly eastern and leaving our heading just about perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough base surface area to put our drill, our experts may be sitting tight for one more two full weeks while our experts make an effort and also accumulate another Gediz Vallis network example. As well as considering that our company drive backwards along with the branch taking up the back, we may even possess a work environment our experts've currently driven over - hopefully leaving open some inner bedrock even prior to drilling.
