MRO won't be quite THAT good. Do you mean even when using the "compensation move" (sorry can't remember the exact words) they use sometimes on MGS ? -------------------- |

MC can step in here if I'm wrong, but I believe the way in which HiRISE works - the CPROTO technique that MGS uses just won't be possible (or even worthwhile) with HiRISE.

With this last giant leap Oppy has arrived the area covered by MGS image S0500863 (I tend to get the codes mixed, so correct me if needed), meaning that it's now possible to plot Oppy's route on a 3-D route map, either crosseyed or anaglyph.
I'll come back later and attach a an xeyed example of Oppys' Sol 823 location. (Edit) Came back at last. The image suffered for unknown reason in the process but still retains enough of its three dimensions to be worth looking. I rather indulged myself in the work, driving Oppy as far as to the bottom of Victoria. Note that Oppy's route is *really* three-dimensional.

Corner Crater is less than 600m away, I think will be reached within the end of June...

Nice work but you made a huge mistake (I'm surprised Climber didn't notice). You placed the "Beacon" on the NEAR rim of Victoria, and we all know it's on the FAR rim.

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ May 19 2006, 10:34 AM) Well, the images were expected to be downlinked at 01:30 AM (my local time) and I was already snoring at that time. A *big* drive, indeed. I tried first to compare the new pics with those taken on sol 821, no luck. But then making a polar projection is usually the solution to the puzzle. [attachment=5721:attachment] My updated route map. [attachment=5720:attachment] Great to see your work method Tesheiner, thanks a lot! (BTW, I lived in Alcalá de Henares for six months in the mid-nineties, fun to see that you hail from there) |

Could not connect over the week-end...Thanks ElkGroveDan, we'd better run our own version. Never take what is on the Internet for granted  Edit : I also take the opportunity to fully correct the pictures Sol XXX should read SOL 935

Corner crater is now at the middle of the travel to the near rim of Victoria.

What a great coincidence that the ripples are oriented in just about the best direction possible!

I reckon that with the sol 828 drive we are for the first time closer to the rim of Victoria than the rim of Erebus. We are still maybe two drives away from being closer to the centre of Victoria than the centre of Erebus.
 Small celebration for 100th post.
