Sols 4255-4256: Only Going through

.Discovering our own selves less than a meter from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on an extremely familiar planning: Starting with an upper arm backbone for getting rid of dirt as well as using APXS to explore a bedrock aim at called "Russell Pass," placing the arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting just over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as eventually a ride in the afternoon. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually hectic at the beginning and reduce by the end. Our travel this moment is intended to go ~ 10 meters almost wonderfully east and leaving our moving virtually wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough base surface area to place our practice, our company might be sitting tight for another 2 weeks while our company attempt and collect one more Gediz Vallis channel sample. As well as considering that our company steer backwards along with the arm taking up the rear end, our team may even possess a work environment our experts've already steered over - ideally exposing some inner base even prior to drilling.
