Let's use this topic for the last stops (Cabo Frio, perhaps?) before Opportunity leave the vicinity of Victoria for good.

This is a guess, but I'm pretty sure we'll stop at Cabo Frio before leaving. Paolo?

I will keep you posted. Paolo -------------------- Disclaimer: all opinions, ideas and information included here are my own,and should not be intended to represent opinion or policy of my employer.

I wonder if "Last stops around Victoria, before the Long Trek" is destined to be a very short thread. This idea crossed my mind at the right moment I opened the thread. Then I said "no way, Cabo Frio is a mandatory stop!", but now after Paolo's comments I'm not sure of anything. Will we see one of those 100m drives today? |

Will we see one of those 100m drives today? Not really. Almost 153 meters straight south. Don't be alarmed, there will be no imaging today, we'll have to wait one more day to get them. One of the tricks we will probably use during this adventure.

One of the tricks we will probably use during this adventure. Ahhh ( going onto guess mode ) Driving limited perhaps by time rather than power - so if you forgo the imaging at the end of the drive before stopping for the PM UHF pass, you can get more drive time into the schedule. Do this when on restricted sols and you can pre-estimate Sol N+2's drive from engineering and HiRISE - and give it a go/no go when you get the post drive imaging on Sol N+1 Just guessing Doug |
