.Locating our own selves less than a gauge coming from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our experts began on a very acquainted program: Starting with an arm backbone for clearing away dirt and utilizing APXS to examine a base aim at named "Russell Pass," putting the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, investing only over an hour on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more upper arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and ultimately a ride in the mid-day. These plans, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are actually normally busy at the start and slow down at the end. Our travel this moment is considered to go ~ 10 meters virtually perfectly eastern and leaving our heading just about perfectly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are steadily on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough bedrock area to place our practice, our experts may be remaining for another 2 full weeks while our team attempt as well as accumulate another Gediz Vallis channel sample.
