.Discovering ourselves less than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our company began on an extremely familiar plan: Beginning with an arm foundation for eliminating dirt and also utilizing APXS to examine a bedrock target called "Russell Pass," placing the upper arm out of the way for image resolution, spending merely over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then one more upper arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and lastly a drive in the afternoon. These programs, dubbed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually often active at the beginning as well as slow at the end. Our drive this moment is planned to go ~ 10 meters nearly completely east and also leaving our moving nearly completely west. If on Friday, our tires are actually well on the Martian ground and also there is actually a flat-enough base surface area to place our drill, our experts could be remaining for an additional two weeks while we make an effort and accumulate one more Gediz Vallis channel example. As well as given that our experts steer backwards along with the branch occupying the back, we might also have an office our company've currently steered over - perhaps revealing some inner bedrock also prior to drilling.
