Time for a new thread.
After moving southwards for ages, the "detour" by the western path has started with a 60+ meters drive on sol 1942. There are no images yet --they should be available on the next update-- so this image was calculated solely based on the rover's mobility info. I'll update the route map later. |

"Block Island" is actually a ways south of the sol 1942 location:
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P1962R0M1.JPG (And it's roughly 25 cm tall.) So that would mean some significant backtracking if that were a target. I'm baffled by this reversal. Edit: perhaps Oppy's gotten tired of seeing her destination in the rearview mirror: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...NMP1760R0M1.JPG and she's revolted! |
