.Finding ourselves lower than a meter from our enthusiastic end-of-drive on Monday, our team began on an extremely knowledgeable program: Starting with an upper arm foundation for eliminating dust and also making use of APXS to explore a base target named "Russell Elapsed," placing the upper arm off the beaten track for imaging, spending merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another arm basis for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, as well as eventually a drive in the mid-day. These programs, referred to "touch-and-go" plans, are commonly occupied at the start and also reduce at the end. Our ride this time around is actually organized to go ~ 10 gauges just about wonderfully east and also leaving our heading almost flawlessly west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually solidly on the Martian ground and there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface to position our drill, our experts might be staying for one more two weeks while our company attempt and also pick up another Gediz Vallis network sample. And because our team steer back along with the arm occupying the rear end, our company may also possess a work area our experts've actually steered over - ideally subjecting some inner bedrock also before drilling.
