.Finding our own selves less than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly knowledgeable program: Beginning with an arm basis for clearing away dust and using APXS to examine a base target called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting simply over a hr on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more arm basis for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and eventually a drive in the mid-day. These programs, termed "touch-and-go" plannings, are typically occupied at the beginning and also slow by the end. Our drive this time is planned to go ~ 10 meters almost completely east as well as leaving our moving nearly completely west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base area to position our exercise, we could be sitting tight for another two full weeks while our company try as well as gather an additional Gediz Vallis channel sample. And because our team steer in reverse along with the branch occupying the rear, our experts might even have a work environment our team have actually actually steered over - perhaps exposing some interior base even prior to boring.
