Another drive today, it seems! Take it easy Scott, these sorts of speeds we'll get dizzy!

Also in the latest update:
QUOTE A diagnostic test on Sol 1805 provided an evaluation of how accurately Spirt's accelerometers sense the rover's orientation or attitude. The testing was a follow-up to Spirit's mistaken calculation of where to expect to see the sun on Sol 1802. The sol 1805 results indicate the accelerometers may have a bias of about 3 degrees. This would explain why Spirit pointed a camera about three degrees away from the sun's actual position on Sol 1802. Maybe, to anthropomorphize our friend Spirit, she's feeling a little dizzy after being tilted at wh3 for so long and then abruptly returning to level ground. |
