Conjunction is over, so it is probably a good time to start a new thread.
I just saw this update from Scott via Twitter QUOTE ('marsroverdriver') Out of solar conjunction & planning to drive Spirit again. Woo-hoo! Come on, little hill-climber, you can do it!

QUOTE (climber @ Dec 16 2008, 07:25 AM)  How much do we have to drive to get the solar panels leveled? One or two drives worth. The ramp were we are parked is quite short, maybe 1-1.5 mt? I don't recall exactly. 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.
