.Discovering ourselves less than a meter from our confident end-of-drive on Monday, our team started on a really knowledgeable strategy: Beginning with an arm basis for clearing away dust and also using APXS to investigate a bedrock intended called "Russell Successfully pass," placing the arm out of the way for image resolution, devoting merely over an hour on Mastcam imaging and also ChemCam LIBS on Russell Pass, after that another arm backbone for MAHLI images of Russell Pass, and lastly a ride in the afternoon. These strategies, dubbed "touch-and-go" strategies, are actually generally active at the beginning and also decrease at the end. Our ride this moment is intended to go ~ 10 meters virtually perfectly eastern and also leaving our heading almost flawlessly west. If on Friday, our tires are actually well on the Martian ground as well as there is actually a flat-enough bedrock surface area to position our exercise, our team may be remaining for one more two full weeks while we attempt as well as collect yet another Gediz Vallis network sample. As well as given that our company steer back with the branch taking up the rear, our company could even have a work area our experts have actually actually driven over - perhaps leaving open some interior base even before exploration.
