.Discovering our own selves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, we began on a very familiar strategy: Beginning with an upper arm basis for eliminating dust and using APXS to investigate a base intended named "Russell Pass," putting the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more upper arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as lastly a drive in the afternoon. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are typically busy at the start as well as slow down by the end. Our travel this moment is actually prepared to go ~ 10 meters just about perfectly east as well as leaving our moving virtually completely west. If on Friday, our wheels are solidly on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base area to place our drill, our team may be staying put for yet another two full weeks while we try and pick up another Gediz Vallis stations sample. And also considering that we drive in reverse with the arm occupying the back, we may even have an office our company've currently driven over - with any luck exposing some inner bedrock also before drilling.
