.Discovering ourselves less than a meter from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly familiar planning: Starting along with an arm backbone for eliminating dust and also using APXS to look into a bedrock target named "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for imaging, investing only over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another upper arm foundation for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as finally a drive in the afternoon. These plans, referred to as "touch-and-go" programs, are actually commonly hectic at the start and also decrease at the end. Our ride this time is actually planned to go ~ 10 gauges nearly perfectly eastern and also leaving our heading almost wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are steadily on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough base area to place our practice, our experts may be staying for an additional pair of full weeks while our company try and pick up an additional Gediz Vallis stations sample. And also considering that we drive back along with the arm occupying the rear end, our team could even possess a workspace our experts've presently driven over - perhaps subjecting some internal bedrock even just before drilling.
