This map goes back earlier with a few names from the drive north after the Seitah sampling.

A particularly significant point is the location labelled '350', the end of drive location on sol 350. That drive was not documented with the usual end of drive panorama and the location shows up as 351 on the mission map. The real 351 location is further along the path, and the map misleadingly suggests the '350' point is a waypoint along that drive. The text of the Analyst's notebook makes it clear there was a sol 350 drive and the raw Navcam images for sol 350 show stages along that drive. The rear Hazcams for the start of sol 351 show the same location before the 351 drive. So this 'stealth drive' has not been shown correctly on any map up to now.

I'm guessing that was a multi sol drive without ground in the loop.

Yes, it was.

Putting together some details from earlier in the mission. Here is a map of the Issole region showing the rover positions at the various stops arounmd the outcrop.

Moving back south:

Quick update to sol 543. I'm making maps to record names, and will post them from time to time. No, I don't really have time for this!

Next, the previous map of this area with names...

Phil

Some recent maps I am using to document names and helicopter flights.

Hi Phil-

Looks like a typo on the latest (and wonderful as always) Perseverance map- the "541-542" label is used in two locations.

John

Oops - yes, should be 541 and 542 at the two points. I don't know where that came from. Will fix shortly.

Phil

This is the corrected map. Good job I have an army of proof-readers out there! Corrections are always welcome.

Screen captures of the interactive map: Shows the rover's position after the long drive during sol 555 (219.9 m / 721.47 ft) including an interesting diversion before crossing another TAR, it also shows the location of 'Enchanted Lake' about 20 meters northeast of the rover's sol 555 location. Also shown the helicopters position after flight 31 on sol 550 (97.7 m / 321 ft)

The calculated distance between the two craft is currently 857.7 m / 2814 ft. Communications between the craft remains good with 187 (flight 31) images received from the helicopter after the drive.

Here is a map of the eastern part of future potential traverse paths (white lines) for Perseverance.
Thick contour lines every 10 meters, thin lines every meter. Numbers are sols on the past traverse.
The future potential paths are digitized from the map shown at the NASA press conference on 2022-09-15 .

Thanks Paul. Ingenuity has to be the Epic engineering story on Mars. I am astounded that she keeps going since she is a much lighter and simpler mechanism than the Rovers. I would have expected the batteries to have expired by now.

"Here is a map of the eastern part of future potential traverse paths (white lines) for Perseverance..." (Tau)

That is a tremendous map format, and especially that it shows potential future paths.

--Bill

Yes, it's a very nice map.

Here is a quick update to the present time showing the latest helicopter flight on sol 561 and a few names which Paul has been helping me track down.
