No - this is pure inappropriate thread resurrection, nothing more, nothing less. For those unable to grasp that - the thread is now closed. Juramike needs to learn some basic forum etiquette and frankly, apply a bit of common sense, before posting.

As an Admin team - we DON'T appreciate it, so please do not encourage it.

Timewarping a thread isn't a retrospective.

Juramike - seriously - a more than 5 year old dead thread resurected for a single RGB comp that we've probably all got via MMB + Slinted. What the heck were you thinking?

HDP has his own very lengthy thread for his ideas based on the MER results - discussion should be in there.

It doesn't have much in the way of re-entry symptoms (fusion crust etc)

smaller than X pixels and it puts it in automatically I think.

7 posts that start from an off topic moan all deleted.

Quite. Call it UMSF if you like (I do). But do NOT call it UMSF dot com. That used to be a church website I believe, since mvoed to a .org, and the .com URL is now for sale for about $5000

If we knew what we were going to learn - then we wouldn't be doing ANY of this, would we?



If it's actually a piece of primordial crust, as suggest by Squyres, then studying it is important. It's quite likely that the rock out at Endeavour will be the same exceptionally soft rock we've been used to at Eagle, Endurance and Victoria - which consumes almost no RAT bit at all.

Don't encourage him Bjorn

I've deleted two rather pathetic and childish rants.

The reversion from the last frame to the first shows clearly that it already is. It's not moving as much as the FL - but it IS moving.

A more appropriate phrase would have been 'colourised' rather than 'false colour'. 'false colour' infers that you made the image from multiple filters.

False colour? really? I've stretched the saturation to the max in Photoshop on that image, and there's no colour at all, just a slight orange tinge across the entire image.

Handel wrote the Hallelujah Chorus for this exact moment.

Had a go at a few more since the flatfieldorama version of vmc2rgb (only one request - can we have a version that would work with a batch file that reads vmc2rgb.exe *.raw for example, like img2png? )

Some people have very short memories

Read this thread and decide for yourself - particularly mhowards posts regarding development.

All Astro0's work - I just pin them up

That's not why it's against forum rules.

Indeed - it's in direct breach of forum rules.

Holy **** - Awesome work. I'm going to have to do all my movies again when I get back from a few days out the office

50cm. The bottom of a Hazcam image is the ground directly below it So we will see the rock appear at the bottom of Hazcams as we get clear of it. Hazcam's FOV is 120 degrees and the pointing is 30 degrees below the horizon - so you get 90 degrees below, and 30 degrees above.

More of the same - moderate driven commands (5 metres) with very very small progress ( 5-10 mm )

Essentially - we're looking at a 99.5+% slip rate - but it's still progress.


It looks to me as if the belly-rock is shifting with the rover, so as that shifts we may have more 'headroom' for sinkage whilst making progress.
