Sols 4255-4256: Only Passing Through

.Locating our own selves less than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our experts began on an extremely acquainted planning: Beginning with an arm basis for eliminating dirt and also using APXS to explore a bedrock intended named "Russell Elapsed," placing the arm out of the way for imaging, investing simply over an hour on Mastcam image resolution and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also lastly a ride in the afternoon. These plans, referred to as "touch-and-go" plans, are actually usually active at the start as well as reduce at the end. Our travel this moment is actually organized to go ~ 10 gauges almost perfectly east and also leaving our heading virtually flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to position our practice, our team could be remaining for one more pair of weeks while our team attempt and pick up yet another Gediz Vallis network example. As well as since our team steer backwards along with the arm taking up the rear, our company might even have a work space our team've currently driven over - with any luck revealing some internal bedrock also prior to drilling.
