.Locating our own selves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on an extremely familiar program: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for clearing away dirt and using APXS to investigate a base intended named "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing just over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also eventually a drive in the mid-day. These plannings, called "touch-and-go" programs, are normally hectic at the start and reduce in the end. Our travel this time is actually organized to go ~ 10 gauges virtually wonderfully east as well as leaving our heading nearly wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are sturdily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface to place our drill, we could be staying put for yet another 2 weeks while our team try and also accumulate yet another Gediz Vallis network sample. And also since we steer in reverse with the branch using up the rear, our experts could also have a work environment our company've already steered over - with any luck leaving open some interior base also prior to boring.
