QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Dec 21 2009, 02:48 AM)  Yestersol was sol B-2100 , time for another map update: Given that Oppy's the first and so-far only non-Lunar landing mission to every wander beyond its landing ellipse, I'd be curious (pleased) to see a big white line drawn across one of these large-scale route maps. Anyone? Anyone? (Had to specify "landing" mission as the Venera balloons drifted well outside of their ellipses.) -Kevin |

That happened a long time ago - and was notated as you ask. Search for something before asking for it.

Here's an annotated version with Endurance, Victoria, and Endeavour craters indicated as well as a very crude indication of Opportunity's route.
EDIT: actual route (red) added.

Talking of milestones, total odometry on reaching Victoria on Sol 952 was 9279.34m; on Sol 2124, it was 19,025.92m. So we've already driven as far after arrival at Duck Bay as Duck Bay was from Eagle.

QUOTE (centsworth_II @ Jan 17 2010, 07:45 PM) ...a very crude indication of Opportunity's route. Since this is the route map thread, it's probably worth mentioning that the actual path to Victoria was much more north-to-south (perhaps you mis-IDed Erebus?). You can see the entire route at a similar scale here for example. It was in the vicinity of Erebus that we crossed the ellipse. |

We'll be there by week-end. Still driving in the 60's m a sol and have a good RF rest afterwords.
I love this plan. -------------------- |

Using the Oppy+landing ellipse image for context (thanks, Centsworth!) I've placed Oppy's route on a pre-landing image showing the putative hematite distribution (warmer colors = more hematite). Looks like we're soon heading for spectrally distinct terrain . Wonder if the "ground truth" will really look any different? Fewer blueberries? Just more dust and duracrust on the ground?
