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!

sol 1738-1761 R2 comparison:
 Another R2 of the solar cells was taken on 1772 labeled pancam_dust_motion. The stamp image actually looks dustier - so we will have to wait for the full size image download. |

But Horton, that comparison is not with an image taken after the possible cleaning event, is it?

QUOTE (Oersted @ Dec 29 2008, 06:29 PM)  But Horton, that comparison is not with an image taken after the possible cleaning event, is it? The animation was made to show that there was not nuch change between sols 1738 and 1761. The 1772 R2 pancam image when posted hopefully will show more change. |
