.Finding ourselves less than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly familiar program: Beginning with an arm foundation for eliminating dirt and also using APXS to check out a base target called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for imaging, investing just over a hr on Mastcam imaging and ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another upper arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, as well as ultimately a ride in the afternoon. These plans, called "touch-and-go" programs, are actually typically busy at the beginning and also slow down at the end. Our travel this moment is actually organized to go ~ 10 meters virtually wonderfully east and leaving our moving just about completely west. If on Friday, our tires are well on the Martian ground and there is a flat-enough bedrock area to place our practice, our team may be remaining for an additional two weeks while we attempt and gather one more Gediz Vallis network sample. And since our experts steer backwards along with the arm occupying the rear end, our company might also possess a work area our company have actually actually driven over - perhaps leaving open some inner bedrock also prior to exploration.
