.Finding ourselves lower than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a really knowledgeable plan: Starting along with an arm foundation for eliminating dirt as well as making use of APXS to investigate a base intended called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for imaging, investing merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also lastly a drive in the afternoon. These strategies, called "touch-and-go" plannings, are actually usually hectic at the start as well as slow down by the end. Our travel this time around is actually considered to go ~ 10 meters just about wonderfully east as well as leaving our heading virtually flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are sturdily on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to put our exercise, we may be staying put for one more two weeks while we try as well as pick up an additional Gediz Vallis stations sample. And since our team drive back with the branch using up the rear end, our experts may even have a workspace we have actually actually steered over - with any luck revealing some inner bedrock also before drilling.
