MEX VMC - Back on, and online! Options

I heard about this 24 hours ago, and couldn't believe it - this is EXACTLY what has been missing from ESA. MASSIVE kudos to the ESOC MEX flight ops team for doing it

The last time I wrote a post and hit 'submit' at UMSF with a smile this big on my face, was when Oppy successfully got out of Purgatory.

Here is an attempted mosaic of the "relatively clear and kinda undistorted parts" of the MEX VMC images covering August 4-September 11, 2008.
(It's still a work in progress - mosaic is too strong a word, I was overlaying these images on the USGS Mars Map - it's more analogous to what the psycho killer guy was doing in "The Silence of the Lambs")



Here is an EXCEL table I made that lists the image date, approximate time, and the most distinctive feature nearest the center of the image for those MEX VMC images. This will hopefully cut down on the frustration of trying to figure out the features on the image:  MEX_VMC_Features_list_20080918__August_4___September_11_2008_.xls ( 19.5K ) Number of downloads: 735
