.Discovering our own selves less than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a really acquainted strategy: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for removing dust and also utilizing APXS to check out a bedrock target called "Russell Pass," placing the arm out of the way for image resolution, spending simply over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and lastly a drive in the afternoon. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are actually typically active at the beginning as well as slow at the end. Our ride this time around is actually planned to go ~ 10 gauges just about completely eastern and also leaving our moving practically wonderfully west. If on Friday, our tires are actually solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to position our exercise, our company might be staying put for one more pair of full weeks while our team make an effort and pick up an additional Gediz Vallis stations sample. As well as since we steer backwards along with the branch taking up the back, we may also possess a workspace we have actually presently driven over - ideally exposing some internal bedrock even prior to boring.
