.Discovering ourselves less than a gauge from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our experts started on a really acquainted planning: Beginning with an arm foundation for clearing away dust and making use of APXS to check out a bedrock target called "Russell Elapsed," positioning the upper arm off the beaten track for image resolution, devoting simply over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that one more arm backbone for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also finally a travel in the afternoon. These plannings, referred to as "touch-and-go" plannings, are usually hectic at the beginning and decrease in the end. Our drive this moment is actually considered to go ~ 10 meters just about flawlessly east as well as leaving our moving almost wonderfully west. If on Friday, our wheels are sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to position our drill, we may be staying put for another pair of full weeks while our team attempt and accumulate one more Gediz Vallis channel example. And also since we drive back with the arm taking up the back, our company could also have a work area our experts've actually steered over - ideally leaving open some interior base also prior to boring.
