.Locating our own selves less than a meter coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on a really acquainted strategy: Beginning along with an upper arm foundation for getting rid of dirt and also making use of APXS to examine a base intended named "Russell Successfully pass," placing the arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing just over a hr on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and eventually a ride in the mid-day. These plannings, nicknamed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually generally hectic at the start as well as slow by the end. Our drive this time is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters virtually perfectly east as well as leaving our heading just about perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base area to position our drill, our experts may be sitting tight for yet another two full weeks while our company try and also accumulate an additional Gediz Vallis network example. And also given that our company steer in reverse along with the arm using up the rear end, our team could also have a work area we have actually already steered over - with any luck exposing some inner bedrock also before exploration.
