Sols 4255-4256: Only Passing Through

.Finding our own selves lower than a meter coming from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a very familiar program: Beginning with an upper arm backbone for clearing away dust as well as using APXS to investigate a bedrock aim at named "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, investing simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point one more arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also eventually a travel in the afternoon. These strategies, termed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually normally busy at the beginning as well as reduce by the end. Our drive this time around is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters practically flawlessly eastern and leaving our heading almost flawlessly west. If on Friday, our tires are steadily on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to put our exercise, our company could be staying for yet another two full weeks while we attempt and also pick up yet another Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as given that our experts drive in reverse along with the branch occupying the rear, our team could even possess a work environment our experts've presently steered over - with any luck leaving open some inner base even just before boring.
