There have been, as far as I can find, 8 HiRISE obs of PHX released to the HiRISE website at full res (i.e. not 2x2 binned)
Of those, 5 are really quite good, 3 are not so great. So I've overlaid the interesting parts to see any changes. The parachute folds over a bit at some point between Aug 23rd and Sept 19th - other than that, nothing really to see. The different observing angles are very very obvious when you look at the back-shell on its side. Have a go at convincing yourself you can see changed in the arm work-volume. I couldn't quite see anything. |

It saw all the pieces
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_011980_2485 Feb '09. I'm not sure what's going on with HiRISE. Looking at Opportunity and Spirit - the earliest images are the best. But there ARE images AS good as that in each months updates. PHX is an odd-ball because of low light angle, thus having to crank things up to get an image. |

Full inline quote of previous post removed - Mod
The first images released of the landing sites were stunning. But subsequent images from HiRISE show a lot of noise and banding. |
