.Finding our own selves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on a really acquainted strategy: Starting along with an upper arm basis for taking out dirt and also making use of APXS to explore a bedrock target named "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, spending just over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and lastly a drive in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to as "touch-and-go" plannings, are generally active at the beginning and also decrease in the end. Our drive this time around is actually intended to go ~ 10 meters almost flawlessly eastern as well as leaving our moving almost perfectly west. If on Friday, our wheels are solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock surface area to place our drill, our team might be staying for an additional pair of weeks while our team try and also gather another Gediz Vallis stations example. As well as since our team steer in reverse with the arm using up the back, our company could even possess a work area our experts have actually currently driven over - perhaps subjecting some interior base also prior to boring.
