.Finding ourselves less than a gauge coming from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, our experts started on a very acquainted plan: Beginning with an arm basis for taking out dust and making use of APXS to explore a base intended named "Russell Elapsed," positioning the arm off the beaten track for image resolution, devoting merely over an hour on Mastcam imaging as well as ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another arm foundation for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and also finally a drive in the afternoon. These plannings, referred to as "touch-and-go" plannings, are generally active at the start and also slow by the end. Our drive this time around is planned to go ~ 10 gauges almost completely east and leaving our heading just about perfectly west. If on Friday, our tires are solidly on the Martian ground and also there is a flat-enough base area to position our drill, we may be remaining for an additional 2 full weeks while our team attempt and also collect yet another Gediz Vallis channel example. And also given that our team drive back with the arm using up the rear end, our team might even possess a work area our company've presently steered over - with any luck exposing some internal base also before drilling.
