Paolo's got his plunge over at Meridiani....and thanks to Ashley's driving, we now have - Stroupe's Slide here at Gusev. It took an email or two to figure out the best alliteration for it. Somehow 'Ashley's Favorable Incline' didn't quite scan, and Home Plate North is just so..dull. And where better to slide, than home plate! Even after as much careful planning ( that some suggested was too conservative ) it was still a major effort to get Spirit safe in time - so kudos to Ashley Stroupe and her colleagues for dealing with a couple of Mars jet-lagged weeks and giving us a shot at celebrating a 5th Martian Birthday.
Get comfortable, we may be here some time Doug |

It was noted here or in a status report that Spirit was expected to move down the slope to increase the tilt by mid-january.
The "codes" in the PCDT web are saying it might be happening right now! CODE 01429::p1201::22::2::0::0::2::0::4::front_haz_penultimate_1_bpp_pri_17 01429::p1214::05::2::0::0::2::0::4::front_hazcam_ultimate_4_bpp 01429::p1302::01::2::0::0::2::0::4::rear_hazcam_penultimate_2_bpp_pri_22 01429::p1314::00::2::0::0::2::0::4::rear_haz_ultimate_4bpp_pri15 Data from sol 1429 should be available later in the day. |
