Assuming trafficability on the top of the hill is decent, which I expect it will be, they should drive to the south roll-off and take two panoramas looking south with some tens of meters baseline for long-range stereoscopic analysis. One could be single-filter black and white to save bits. They should then to to the east-northeast flank and do the same looking down across the big bowl to the east of the smaller crater like bowl overlooked by Larry's overlook and then do the same to the east-south-east.
Such multispectral and long-base-line monochrome stereo mosaics would be the single most valuable imaging product of the entire Spirit mission, and would be of crucial value in decyphering the complex and confusing stratigraphy and geology of the hills. |
