And they deBayer quite nicely out of the box:

I think the similar instrument on Curiosity was slightly damaged by flying debris during landing.

2 days - 2 scoops!
Preparations for SEIS tether burial?

If the crater floor is covered by ash or other volcanic material, if Perseverence heads up the delta toward the inflowing river bed, would it be able to find any of the original river- or lake-bed shallow enough that its instruments can reach it? I suppose this area is a major destination for the helicopter.

I was surprized when they showed the EDL videos so quickly considering those were supposed to be tens of thousands of frames. But I assume now that the frames were compressed into video onboard (they mentioned using ffmpeg) and sent back quickly. Now the raw frames will presumably take some time to return, but once we get them we will be able to make beautifully clean videos...

My first attempt at a quick and dirty anaglyph. Most Nav cam shots are only from the left. This was one I found with both left and right. Not sure if they are a perfect match but it gives some sense of the distance of things.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am really, really impressed by the performance of the Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) during EDL. If you look at the landing site, you can see all sorts of hazards such as dune fields and boulders that TRN successfully avoided. Congrats to the team; I cannot imagine how challenging the engineering was for this.

I had a different sort of EDL question: does the thickness of Mars' atmosphere vary enough to necessitate course and trajectory corrections just before EDL?

BTW, the documentary "Built for Mars: The Perseverance Rover" on NatGeo last night was excellent. Usually I find these things pretty cringeworthy for a variety of reasons, but this one was great. As someone who has on occasion gotten to be a technician (I torqued several screws on MCZ) it's a nice perspective of what it's like to build flight hardware, not often seen on TV.

I agree that propulsion engineers would like for the rover to visit the sky crane crash site.

I thought these tall rocks in the near distance in JRehling's photo were interesting. They seem different from their neighbors and the usual flat white rocks we see most places on Mars. Brought here in outflow from the delta?

The raw images page is still showing only the first three images sent yesterday. Do we know if that page will be updated as soon as images come down? What is the image policy for this mission?
