Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Finding ourselves lower than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a quite familiar program: Starting along with an arm backbone for eliminating dirt and also making use of APXS to explore a bedrock intended named "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, investing merely over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another upper arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as finally a ride in the afternoon. These strategies, called "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually occupied at the beginning and also decrease by the end. Our drive this moment is planned to go ~ 10 gauges almost wonderfully east and leaving our heading practically wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are actually well on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to position our drill, our experts might be remaining for one more pair of weeks while our experts attempt and gather an additional Gediz Vallis network example. And because we drive back along with the branch occupying the rear end, we may even possess an office our team have actually currently driven over - perhaps leaving open some internal bedrock even before boring.
