Duck bay seems to be the best entry point if it is decided that Oppy should enter into Vicky.It is the largest bay around the rim of the crater and hence the slope down the bay should be the most gentle of them all.Any ideas as to the angle of the slope down Duck bay?There is also a whole stack of stones uncovered and dust free which seem to reach deeper into the crater than anywhere else.That should stabilize the rover by means of a firm grip by driving on slabs rather than sand as was the case when Oppy entered Endurance.

IMHO

Any ideas regarding this matter?
