Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Locating ourselves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a very familiar plan: Beginning with an arm foundation for taking out dust and also making use of APXS to investigate a base intended called "Russell Successfully pass," putting the arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting merely over a hr on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and lastly a drive in the afternoon. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" strategies, are normally hectic at the start as well as slow down by the end. Our drive this time around is organized to go ~ 10 meters practically perfectly eastern as well as leaving our heading nearly perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are actually solidly on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to put our exercise, we may be remaining for another pair of full weeks while our company attempt and accumulate yet another Gediz Vallis stations example. And also given that our experts steer back with the branch taking up the rear end, our experts may even have a work area our company've currently driven over - with any luck revealing some inner base also just before drilling.
