Looks like we released the April-September 2005 MOC data (cycles S05-S10) this morning -- http://www.msss.com/moc_gallery/index.html
Not meaning to take any of the glory away from HiRISE, but does anyone know if there is an imminent release of MOC images for S11 - S16? These large image blocks usually come in April and October, but I haven't heard anything. New images are new images, and I've been spoiled by the regularly spaced deluges!

Suggests that Oct 13th was the date for the MOC release.

Can anyone tell me where can I find the coordinates for http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/publicresults/2005/11/S12-01993p.gif?
From http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/publicresults/S12data.html
Oh yes...I'm cooking something...
The information is here
http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/publicresults/2005/11/S1201993_01994.tab
But the table description which should be here : http://www.msss.com/mars_images/moc/publicresults/columndescript.html seems to be locked away somewhere.
HOWEVER
it's cached here

Well - the update was pushed and pushed to Nov 27th....today is the first day at which the date is later than the published data release date.....but I still see nothing new.

With MGS dead, maybe they want to release the remaining images all in one go.
I'm wondering if there may have been a workforce reduction at Malin Space Systems when the latest MGS mission extension was funded. It's not all that unusual to reduce funding for a new mission extension, ostensibly because of operating efficiencies developed during previous mission extensions. Just a guess, though. It would have been unrelated to the probable loss of MGS.
I also noticed that there have been no new MRO context camera (also MSSS) images released since October 16.
It also may be that the scramble to recover the spacecraft, especially in the first weeks of November, as well as the first regular operations of CTX and MARCI, took a lot of the manpower away from preparing the release.
I thought that - but then why would engineering activity affect the release of previously taken science data. The last one owas May 11th, so the next should have been Nov 11th really. And CTX/MARCI data taking again, shouldn't really have got in the way of this new release either as the processing and release of thata up until conjunction would have been funded with the previous extension.
I don't mind it being late - but it's frustrating to see the PDS Imaging node report one date, then push it, then push it again, then we sail right past it without the data. I would rather they stuffed the release date out to mid Decmeber and release it when they say they will.

I am not sure of the answer to this, but it lies in whether or not it is the same people doing both types of work. If it is, it is easy to see how they might be pulled away. If not, it doesn't answer the mystery.
What's up at msss? It's been over two months and no new CTX imagery released? Maybe because of the gully/crater release last week?
Thanks! It's there.
