I challenge you not to look at this and make a ping/spring/boing happy sort of a noise.

Looking at the early and late post dump shots htere doesn't seem to be much subliming although it is hard to see as the lighting is different between the 0740ish shot and the 1300ish shot

I venture they got an oven-full signal. Maybe.
There is a TEGA post-delivery image that shows soil on the adjacent door, at 0749: http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?...019&cID=179 There is an image of soil remaining in the scoop, at 0755, after the above: http://phoenix.lpl.arizona.edu/images.php?...109&cID=179 I think it's likely that the programmed sequence was to sprinkle until oven-full was detected. That would leave some soil in the scoop. (But, I suppose it's possible that they sprinkled, imaged, sprinkled, imaged without regard to stopping upon oven-full, and that might lead to the same pictures.) |
