Download: Google Earth 5 w/Mars
An early overview is available here. This is exactly what I've been waiting for ever since Google Earth came out five years ago. And HiRISE integration is amazing. |

In order to improve resolution without slowing down the application too much I have divided the earlier 'drivebility' map in three parts:
Endurance crater to Victoria crater: Endurance_Victoria_Drivability_Map.kml ( 580bytes ) Number of downloads: 491 Victoria crater to Mini Endurance: Victoria_Mini_Endarance_Drivability.kml ( 574bytes ) Number of downloads: 362 Mini Endurance to Endeavour: Mini_Endurance_Endeavour_Drivability.kml ( 584bytes ) Number of downloads: 368 People who downloaded the earlier version don't need to do anything as it will upgrade automatically. This new map has a resolution of aprox 1.7 mtr/pixel, it is no use going up any further as that's way outside the scope of the calculations. 'Red' should be seen as 'potentially' dangerous, however the settings are a bit on the safe side ('better safe then sorry'), only way to judge the real danger is with the eyes of the rover down on the surface. Basically dunes which are converging/merging are seen as a threat and marked red. |
