5 downsampled navcam frames from sol 2078 are down. Someone might want to make an animation. wink.gif

So RF and LR wheels were steered on 2078, and now LF and RR wheels steered on 2079. It's really hard to see what's happened with the RR, but if you compare the 2078 and 2079 images:

the soil behind the RR has moved quite a bit, perhaps looking as if the RR was actually driven. But my guess is it was just steered like all the others.

This is definitely all good news - finally the extraction has begun! smile.gif
