QUOTE (RoverDriver @ Oct 3 2008, 12:23 PM)  RAT is still useable, it is a pain to use it, but useable. Which spectrometer? MB, APXS, MTES? Paolo I meant the MB (Mossbauer) spectrometer. It seems like that is the spectrometer most often used to detect minerals like pyroxene & hematite, correct? Thanks! |

Ah, you are talking o an engineer here. I know how to place it on a rock and know it takes a LOOOONNNNNGGGGGGG time to integrate, but don't ask me what minerals it detects  .Paolo -------------------- Disclaimer: all opinions, ideas and information included here are my own,and should not be intended to represent opinion or policy of my employer.

Paolo got me there with the debris thing, good one! - I do know tho, that the rovers move excruciatingly slowly, just though that it would still be possible to squeeze some little object so much that it would go ka-poww! and splinter...

That is true. Before deciding to keep the IDD unstowed when driving, we did some tedting in the sandbox which were "interesting". I can't believe I actually got to drop the rover from 15cm on a hard surface but the IDD survived, unscathed to the event, and had it landed on a small pebble at just the right angle t would have resulted in ricocheting.

Twitter says that the solar conjunction will be mid-nov to mid-dec and that Phoenix will be in the "wild" for 2 weeks at the deepest of this period.
I wonder if we'll have took off from Vicky before conjunction starts as well as what she'll do during these two weeks. I must say I was caught by surprise. -------------------- |

Restricted sols supposed to be finished now.
We'll probably have more activities during the following 3 weeks.

Nice work Marco.
I've put a version of my own on my new webblog. Astro0 EDIT: Replying to Marco's post below... "It's a lot of Photoshop work and a heap of anti-vignetting". |

Thanks, Astro0... I must admit your version is by far better than mine!

Yes, it's a mirror image! - but a nice view anyway.
