.Locating ourselves lower than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on an incredibly acquainted program: Starting along with an arm basis for getting rid of dust and also utilizing APXS to explore a bedrock aim at called "Russell Elapsed," positioning the arm off the beaten track for imaging, devoting merely over a hr on Mastcam image resolution and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, at that point another arm foundation for MAHLI photos of Russell Pass, and lastly a drive in the mid-day. These programs, called "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually typically active at the start as well as decrease at the end. Our ride this moment is actually planned to go ~ 10 meters virtually perfectly east as well as leaving our moving almost wonderfully west. If on Friday, our steering wheels are actually solidly on the Martian ground as well as there is a flat-enough bedrock area to place our drill, our experts might be remaining for an additional two weeks while we try and also gather another Gediz Vallis network sample. And due to the fact that we drive in reverse along with the arm occupying the rear end, our company may even have an office we have actually already steered over - ideally subjecting some inner base even prior to drilling.
