.Discovering our own selves lower than a meter coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on an incredibly acquainted planning: Beginning along with an arm basis for clearing away dirt and using APXS to examine a bedrock aim at named "Russell Successfully pass," positioning the upper arm out of the way for imaging, spending simply over a hr on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another upper arm foundation for MAHLI pictures of Russell Pass, and also lastly a drive in the afternoon. These strategies, referred to "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually often occupied at the start and also slow down by the end. Our drive this moment is considered to go ~ 10 meters practically completely eastern as well as leaving our moving almost perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually steadily on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface to position our drill, our experts could be staying for yet another pair of full weeks while our company attempt as well as accumulate another Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as given that our team drive backwards along with the branch using up the back, our team could also have an office our team have actually presently driven over - ideally subjecting some inner bedrock also before exploration.
