.Locating our own selves lower than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on an incredibly acquainted plan: Beginning with an arm basis for getting rid of dirt and also making use of APXS to look into a bedrock aim at called "Russell Elapsed," placing the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and eventually a travel in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to "touch-and-go" plans, are generally busy at the beginning and slow by the end. Our drive this time around is actually considered to go ~ 10 gauges virtually flawlessly east and leaving our moving virtually completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually sturdily on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough bedrock area to place our drill, our experts may be staying put for one more 2 full weeks while our experts make an effort and also gather one more Gediz Vallis stations example. And because we steer backwards with the branch occupying the back, we could even have a work environment our experts've presently driven over - perhaps revealing some internal bedrock also before drilling.
