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. |

Could Heat Shield and Block Island have been part of the same rock?
Will the instrument integration on the other side of BI require the same amount of time? Eoin -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

They're not rocks. They're metallic meteorites, that show all the evidence of being 'complete' - with entry heating features on all sides. Well... they are rocks. http://www.astronomynotes.com/glossary/glossm.htm |
