.Locating ourselves lower than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we started on a quite acquainted program: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for removing dust and also making use of APXS to investigate a base target called "Russell Pass," putting the arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting just over a hr on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm foundation for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also lastly a travel in the afternoon. These plannings, nicknamed "touch-and-go" strategies, are usually active at the beginning and slow in the end. Our ride this time around is actually prepared to go ~ 10 meters practically flawlessly east as well as leaving our heading practically completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually sturdily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface area to place our exercise, we could be staying put for another pair of weeks while we make an effort as well as pick up one more Gediz Vallis stations example. And also due to the fact that our team drive backwards along with the arm taking up the rear end, our experts could even possess a workspace our experts have actually currently driven over - ideally revealing some internal base even prior to drilling.
