Gloriously clear evening here in Devon - just got back after watching Venus emerge from behind the moon.

Yup it's been on my todo list for a while now, however I won't be able to start work on this till next week.

Not quite as regular as 7x3 chunks, Doug. But should end up being another full 360 degree panorama I think.

That makes no sense. huh.gif

"working normally" but also "not work on all the payloads at a given time"

"summer on the moon"

"temperature in the moon's atmosphere"

Never has such a short article confused me so much!

Plugging Spirit's landing day into the Exploratorium birthday tool gives 24/08/2009 as her third birthday on Mars.

I think the answer is no, there aren't any more pancam images to fill in the nearfield/deck at this location - you'd have to resort to navcams for that.

I don't know what that has to do with flash player problems rolleyes.gif

However I find Tman's filename decoder both accurate and very useful.

That may refer to this news:


Wow! that is impressive - dtolman is right, the Hubble announcement is going to have a hard time beating this.

The image links don't work in the link Fran gave, try here instead

In fact I think that image deserves to be inline.


EDIT: It looks like the Keck press release and images has been taken down.

Sol 1707 R21 drive direction mosaic.



Looks like were getting a 'hell of a view' on the left and look at the significant outcrop in the middle there.

Meanwhile twittering over at @marsroverdriver Scott is looking on the *possible* bright side:

FYI: There was another drive tosol (1707), about 80m due South.

Not sure if there is a problem with Exploratorium, but the stamps are up on the PDT - so no need to worry about our other rover.

EDIT: And as I said that they appeared smile.gif

Does anyone know if the entire Bonestell panorama is down yet?


No it's not all down. Here is a small version my working copy:

Attached Image


There are 13 camera pointings still missing from this; they still have to be downlinked. One is partially down (7 out of 13 filters) so I make it 162 individual images to go (plus the odd data dropout in a few others). The one that is partially down would complete the top two rows.
