I think it's time for a new thread.
Opportunity is leaving the area where Kasos and other targets were "sniffed" and imaged, making a 20m drive westwards during sol 1891. Besides, we are reaching the 16km milestone. Here's a Q&D "post-drive" navcam mosaic.
Edited: we are in "restricted sols", right? |

Mmm, no answer so I'll try to do the math by myself...  <speculation mode on> Images/data from sol 1891 were downlinked around 05:30UTC so very late night at JPL. That data will be waiting the whole night (*) until early morning in California when they will be processed by the MER team during the morning shift. (*) Meanwhile, we at UMSF are already making mosaics, discussing about the future path, etc. <speculation mode at maximum> Data/sequences for the next drive should be ready for uplink after one shift (six hours), around 12:00PDT or so. That will be 04:00 local time @ Meridiani, early enough for the rover's morning uplink session. So, we are NOT in restricted sols. It's time to  <speculation mode off> |

My only source of information on this subject is Scott's blog (Mars and me) about Spirit's early sols. I would be really grateful if you could provide us a brief (or not so brief ) description of what is an usual working day for an RP.
