They have said they were going to do that, and there are several thousand RDC raw frames on the website already, so why don't you give them a chance? It is only sol 13.

This is educated speculation from reading the EDLcam paper and from what was said at the press conferences. What was sent down initially was the ffmpeg output produced onboard in the EDLcam Linux computer from the raw frames, and they are in the process of downlinking those raw frames now. What's on the raw images website from EDLcam in cases where the raw frame hasn't come down are the frames that were extracted from the ffmpeg file, and then processed however that website processes images in general. So there aren't any "higher quality videos" on the rover.

Basically what fredk said.

Um, yeah.

I don't know if it applied to LROC imaging, but there needed to be congressional approval for at least some LRO support. See https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/...ion-with-china/

There are timestamp issues on the raw images website which are being worked on.

On MSL, the arm wasn't moved until 14 days after landing, so if the same holds you shouldn't expect this quite yet.

Maybe, but all we need now is one base time for sol 0 midnight at each lander.

For martian time zones, see See Arthur C. Clarke, "The Trouble with Time", anthologized in Tales From Ten Worlds.

Yes, but LMST is easier to calculate and typically what's used for rover planning.

We have enough trouble keeping track of what happens when without having a variable length of day too!

Yes. See post #25 in this thread.

Probably from the tier below in the overlap region?

Not all of the images in the 360 pan are as well-focused as they possibly could be, we're still working on that.

Pixel size is 7.4e-6 m = 7.4e-3 mm, is that what you were using?

Correct. Original MCZ spec was for 34mm to 100mm but we ended up with some extra credit range and can do 26mm to 110mm. Typically values 26, 34, 48, 63, 79, 100, and 110 will be used, but AFAIK nobody is sure yet how they'll be chosen. Zoom has to be stowed at 26mm for driving, so that might motivate use of that setting sometimes.

Oh yeah, duh. Well, it was much more interesting to extract it from the camera model

FYI, widest angle of MCZ is 26mm.

Seems like, for the one case I looked at, that the values in the JSON are in the order VORCAH instead of CAHVOR as one would expect. I don't know if this is intentional or a bug. And I'm not sure if these models are actually correct anyway. But you could take a look.

Well, she says sol 8 is the last sol, and it's sol 7 19:19 right now, so no new imaging until sol 9, and then probably no data until sol 10.

Typically, they get dusty before fading would be an issue. Hopefully these magnets work better than the last time.

Should be if the CAHVOR model is set correctly, which they may or may not be at this point. See https://github.com/bvnayak/CAHVOR_camera_model and https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...29/2003JE002199

A transient event that lasts for less than the interframe time will only show up in one band regardless of its actual color.

Looks like about 71N 157W, so much farther north.

But that does look like something.

Yes.

We did this mostly to test the timing scheme for the upcoming close encounters (you'll note we didn't have to take a full spin of image for these). We got closer to Io but only after it was in eclipse, so this wasn't a great opportunity.

There may be more stuff though.

There wasn't enough planetary data around to play with, so we posted the first chunk of PJ32 on missionjuno!

MSL conveniently landed on a Monday. Most of this, as far as I can tell, is due to a "5-day-a-week during business hours" mentality on the part of somebody and not being able to have a press conference over the weekend.

I don't know of anyone on the team that agrees with this policy, but it is above our pay grade.
