"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 ) |

OK. Two things...
1) I'm feeling guilty... just after I did the 'Oppy entering VC' image the dust storm hit, and now just after doing the 'Oppy at Cape Verde' image the wheels and IDD get stuck. I know that SS never wears MER t-shirts in case it's bad luck, I think I might have to start leaving the SFX images until after the event. 2) Can anyone identify the direction this image was taken. The file name doesn't give any clues. Maybe it is, but it just doesn't look like its from Sol 1506 and from inside VC. Astro0 |
