.Finding our own selves lower than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on a really acquainted strategy: Starting along with an upper arm basis for clearing away dirt and utilizing APXS to investigate a base intended named "Russell Elapsed," placing the upper arm out of the way for imaging, devoting only over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm backbone for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, as well as ultimately a travel in the afternoon. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" plans, are commonly active at the start as well as slow down by the end. Our ride this time is actually considered to go ~ 10 gauges virtually flawlessly east and also leaving our moving just about completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually steadily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to put our exercise, our experts could be sitting tight for yet another 2 weeks while our team attempt and collect yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as considering that our team steer back with the arm occupying the back, we could even possess a work environment we have actually currently driven over - with any luck revealing some inner base also before exploration.
