.Locating our own selves lower than a meter from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on an incredibly familiar planning: Starting along with an arm backbone for taking out dust and also using APXS to investigate a bedrock intended named "Russell Successfully pass," putting the arm out of the way for imaging, investing simply over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm basis for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and also lastly a ride in the mid-day. These plans, dubbed "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually hectic at the start and slow by the end. Our ride this time around is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters virtually completely eastern and also leaving our moving nearly perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are solidly on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough base area to position our exercise, our team might be sitting tight for an additional pair of full weeks while we make an effort as well as accumulate yet another Gediz Vallis channel sample. As well as since our experts steer in reverse along with the arm occupying the back, our team might even possess a work space our company've actually driven over - ideally exposing some interior base also before exploration.
