10 years. 10 YEARS. TEN YEARS!!!!
A decade of exploration to celebrate with the Mars Exploration Rovers. Ten years ago an incredible little adventurer with indomitable 'spirit' landed in Gusev Crater. After an incredible journey across rugged plains, climbing mountains and discovering evidence of volcanic activity and sulphate soils, we lost our little girl just a few years ago. But her sister drives on, continuing the adventure. Thank you Spirit. We will always remember you. It's been an amazing 10 years. A wonderful 10 years. Thank you as always to those who cared for her and to those who continue to push forward across the dusty face of Mars. |

In Post # 20 I see her with the IDD and PMA facing toward the viewer and HP to the left (Port) side of the vehicle. The last know vehicle e Yaw is 310. Position seems to be correct, but the vehicle as I see it in that picture seems to be 180/deg from what telemetry tells me. I hope I'm not confused.

Looks like a fly-in from the North rather than from the South. The large crater Thira being opposite of what a fly-in from the south gave that away for me.
Very nice by the way Sean |

Looking again, the animation seems to have the rover at the correct heading, but to my eye the screenshot on Post #20 it looks as it the rover is pointed South-ish?

Ah, the rover position in post 20 is incorrect. I made this when I was still a rover baby and did insufficient research.
The animation is a proof of concept for the workflow...the approach from the north was used to disguise a big gap in south approach coverage. -------------------- |

Got it. I was beginning to doubt my eyes! Thanks for the flyover. Can you pick her up, dust her off and hit ctrl-alt-delete? ;-)

I made another short video of a navcam 3D model colorized with pancam images. This time of Spirit's "Seminole" panorama location.

Fascinating... doesn't it look dusty?
Not the slightest glint of shiny metal. |
