Sols 4255-4256: Just Going through

.Discovering our own selves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a really knowledgeable program: Starting with an upper arm backbone for clearing away dust and also utilizing APXS to look into a base target called "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the arm out of the way for imaging, spending just over an hour on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as finally a travel in the mid-day. These plannings, referred to "touch-and-go" plannings, are usually hectic at the beginning and slow at the end. Our drive this moment is actually considered to go ~ 10 gauges nearly perfectly eastern and also leaving our heading nearly perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are sturdily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface to place our practice, we could be sitting tight for another pair of weeks while our experts make an effort and also pick up an additional Gediz Vallis stations example. As well as because we drive in reverse along with the arm using up the rear, we might also possess a work area our team've currently driven over - with any luck subjecting some inner base also just before boring.
