Sols 4255-4256: Just Going through

.Discovering our own selves less than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we started on an extremely knowledgeable planning: Beginning along with an upper arm basis for getting rid of dirt and utilizing APXS to examine a base intended called "Russell Elapsed," putting the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, spending only over an hour on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more upper arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and lastly a ride in the afternoon. These programs, dubbed "touch-and-go" plans, are often active at the beginning and also slow down at the end. Our travel this time around is prepared to go ~ 10 gauges practically flawlessly east and leaving our heading virtually perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are sturdily on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to position our exercise, our company may be staying put for yet another 2 weeks while we try and also gather yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. And because our experts steer backwards along with the branch using up the rear end, our company may even have an office our team've currently steered over - hopefully subjecting some internal base also before drilling.
