Sols 4255-4256: Only Travelling through

.Locating our own selves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on an extremely knowledgeable planning: Starting along with an upper arm foundation for eliminating dust and using APXS to explore a bedrock aim at named "Russell Pass," putting the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing only over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and ultimately a ride in the afternoon. These plannings, referred to "touch-and-go" strategies, are typically hectic at the beginning as well as decrease in the end. Our ride this moment is planned to go ~ 10 gauges almost completely eastern and leaving our heading virtually completely west. If on Friday, our wheels are steadily on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough base surface to put our practice, our team could be staying for another 2 weeks while our company make an effort and gather one more Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as due to the fact that our team drive in reverse with the branch occupying the rear, our company may even have a work space we've presently steered over - hopefully subjecting some interior bedrock also before boring.
