.Discovering our own selves lower than a gauge from our hopeful end-of-drive on Monday, we began on a really knowledgeable planning: Beginning with an arm basis for taking out dust and utilizing APXS to explore a base target called "Russell Pass," positioning the arm out of the way for image resolution, spending merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, then another upper arm basis for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and ultimately a travel in the afternoon. These plans, referred to "touch-and-go" plans, are actually commonly occupied at the start and also slow in the end. Our ride this time around is actually planned to go ~ 10 meters practically completely east as well as leaving our heading practically flawlessly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually sturdily on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough base area to place our practice, our experts may be sitting tight for an additional pair of full weeks while our experts try as well as collect another Gediz Vallis channel example. And since our team drive backwards with the arm using up the rear end, our team may even have a workspace we've presently steered over - perhaps leaving open some interior bedrock also before drilling.
