Here're the latest navcam pictures taken during sol 1850: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/navcam/2009-03-18/
Spirit is no longer stuck, but I think the attempt to go on top of HP via the NE path is finished and we are going to the West Valley. A pancam mosaic of the western route is planned for tosol. |

Wow! and is also a big one! Sorry if discussed before, but are the DDs considered a threat as well as a benefactor to Spirit ? Would one have enough force to dislodge or even keel over our rover? I seem to remember a discussion concerning how "lightweight" the DDs were despite their spectacular appearance... can't find that thread just now... thanks in advance Eoin -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

But if one could dislodge some of the dust on the panels that would be very welcome! |
