It can drive, but it can not be turned for steering. They have seen slightly elevated currents on it for years - they just need to keep an eye on it and not do anything that makes that situation worse. |

I was gutted when they didn't win the main prize, but I'm very very glad to see them get the recognition they deserve  Love these words from the steering committee QUOTE “The judges recognise that making data from space missions accessible to the public at the earliest opportunity is an action that NASA has shown to be a very effective way in engaging the public with their missions and something that Europe needs to adopt. The OSC sees your team work to use VMC to give a "Live" window on Mars as a much needed initiative. The OSC hopes that the mention in 2010 will encourage ESA and other space agencies to follow this example more widely and consider the use of raw images for outreach purposes from the planning stages of missions! |

If you want to go slightly more hardcore - you can download IMG's and process them VERY easily with Bjorns little program. I say it many many times, but it's true - I'm not a code monkey. I can't do HTML or PHP or any of those acronyms of hell, but even I... a temperamental artist (and I'm not even a very good artists ) - can manage that It's VERY satisfying to go from unintelligible files, to a well stitched colour mosaic. |

Bill - you're jumping to a false conclusion in saying the UHF relay is being problematic right now. There have always been dropouts, there will always be dropouts. I think you're seing multiple consecutive versions of the same image, and thinking it's a swathe of images with different drop outs. here - http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...nity_m2340.html - for example - one could be forgiven that it was a sequence of 30 MI images, most with dropouts. It's actually ( if you check the time stamp of the images ) many many iterated versions of only 4 actual images taken. |

You need to add Stardust-NEXT in there, Akatsuki arrives this December and the Juno launch is before MSL's. |

I have a book of Hurley's Antarctic images, and found a copy to give to JB a couple of years ago. |

Cambridge....pah...never lived there. UMSF's high altitude balloon payload did launch from there though. |

Rememebr the FOV of MARCI is HUGE. The edges you're looking really out left and right from the spacecraft so whilst it's nicely map projects, you're looking through a lot more atmosphere, and I don't think that's something you can easily calibrate out and is probably what's causing the problem. |

And again Bobby - that's a question you could easily answer yourself just looking at Eduardo's maps. There's nowhere that has that answer, someone will have to work it out, and you just volunteered |

QUOTE (Lunik9 @ Aug 20 2010, 07:41 AM)  What would the one-way signal delay time be at Pluto, which will always be 5 billion kilometers away?  You could find out for yourself with some very simple maths. you could even find the exact distance to Pluto using http://space.jpl.nasa.gov on any date and time. If it's 5,000,000,000km - and light is, roughly, 300,000km/sec. Thus about 16,700 seconds - or about 4.63 hrs. |

QUOTE (cotopaxi @ Aug 20 2010, 08:54 AM) 2) While I don't know the image release plans after EPSC, all images (Steins and Lutetia) will be archived by PSA and PDS at some point. Given that OSIRIS has not archived a single thing to the PSA since launch more than 6 years ago - I will not be holding my breath. I just hope the engineers on the Rosetta team can start dispatching the 6.5 year of Navcam imagery into the PSA or elsewhere to give space enthusiasts of European origin something to be as proud of as we can be as proud of VMC on MEX. |

Housekeeping, remote science, late uplink, early downlink, some, all, or none of those. Who knows. |

I asked via Twitter and it was a 'We'll ask' . Sadly nothing from the lander instruments either. |

We had a year exploring the north rim, and then a year going in and back out, and it's been roughly two years since we left - so there's your four years. (I know - doesn't seem like it, does it ) We've almost trebled to odometry since arriving. NICE result. |
