"Hey folks! I’m on-duty with Opportunity this week and it’s going to be pretty exciting. We are in the process of driving the rover over to the wall of Cape Verde to study the layers of rocks there in much greater detail. I will be posting updates all week with the spectacular new pictures that we should be receiving. Stay tuned, it’s going to be a pretty cool week!"
Thanks for the update Ryan : http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/200...ng-to-the-cape/ I wonder how close they'll get. I think no closer than the height projected from it's base ( i.e. 45 degrees ) |

This is just the start of the sol 1487 pan but as it shows the region we're all interested in I thought I'd process what is down so far.

It looks like the 3rd row of the 1487 pan, that is not down yet, is of the sky. So this is a quick go at essentially the finished 6x2 image.

Ryan ( http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/ ) said that they downlinked all the thumbnails - but then threw away the sky images They commanded a bigger mosaic than they needed, as it was commanded in the blind before the drive.

Yep, didn't want to waste bits downlinking blank sky images. I've posted the full-res false-color (uncalibrated) mosaic in my latest update: http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/200...sols-1492-1494/ Enjoy! |
