I'm working on Spirit at the moment. I will post a few examples of things as I go.
Right now the important job is updating the contemporary route map by locating the stops on HiRISE images. The existing maps at JPL, for the early part of the mission, were plotted on MOC images with inferior resolution and lighting, so I find many locations were about 15 or 20 m out. So at every site I am making circular panoramas (examples later) for comparison with HiRISE. Here's a first example, a map of the route during the Primary Mission. I have added a few extra placenames from the MER Analyst's Notebook at PDS. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

More and more detail!! I tried to find "a similar" image of Phobos taken by a Mars orbiter, but no luck. But I wonder if one could use Celestia (which I don't have) to generate a modeled view of Phobos from this perspective?

This is the same viewing angle but different lighting - it's MRO's CRISM observation of Phobos.

I wonder if HiRISE was ever pointed at anything that was not Mars, and if so, what was imaged.

That is what I ran into-- "same viewing angle but different lighting" in many cases. The viewing angle is fairly fixed-- being the "middle of the subarean hemisphere" (within bounds of nutation), with the lighting being the variable...

Paolo, there are spectacular images of Phobos and Deimos from HiRISE. Phil http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/phobos.php http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/deimos.php -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

And - this is Mars Express - it's from a sequence showing Phobos and Deimos in the same frame, not quite the same view but close, with opposite lighting.

About PDS imagery, I think I forget to show you this late afternoon Navcam panorama taken at Sol 1984. I've made this about 1 year ago.

Spectacular! I love those oblique lighting images.

About PDS imagery, I think I forget to show you this late afternoon Navcam panorama taken at Sol 1984. I've made this about 1 year ago. Congratulations Ant103 ! Beautiful work indeed Yes : images taken with loooong shadows are always very beautiful... As a reminder, here is the triplet I made end of 2010, carefully extracting colors from the images from the Calypso pan and merging them with the images taken on Sols 2001 to 2003. Explanations are found at : http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=169422 Enjoy also |
