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! -------------------- |

Based on the imaging plan I would say East. 01784::p0665::03::10::0::0::10::0::20::navcam_5x1_az_108_3_bpp 01784::p0765::01::10::0::0::10::0::20::navcam_5x1_az_288_1_bpp There is a potential passage about 7m to the east. It was seen on Sol 768 IIRC, it might be traversable. We'll see.

What distance can she rove on each sol with the current watt/hour numbers ? Has the MER team got a plan to find a ramp and drive on HP? -------------------- "It`s one small step for a man.

All very good questions, for which I have no answers yet. There will be a pow-wow today discussing these issues but I will be on a MER-B shift today so I am not sure I will be able to attend. I will let you know if I hear anything.
