.Finding ourselves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we started on an extremely familiar plan: Beginning with an arm foundation for getting rid of dirt as well as using APXS to look into a bedrock intended called "Russell Pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing just over an hour on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as ultimately a ride in the mid-day. These plannings, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are actually normally busy at the start and also reduce by the end. Our drive this time around is actually considered to go ~ 10 meters virtually perfectly eastern and leaving our heading virtually wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base surface to position our practice, we might be staying put for yet another two full weeks while our company attempt as well as pick up one more Gediz Vallis channel sample. And also considering that our team steer back with the arm using up the rear, we could also possess a work area we have actually presently driven over - ideally subjecting some interior base even prior to exploration.
