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

Back to business, to our "armchair analysis"...
I believe I can see the "two steps" of today's drive on the tracking web data. If that's correct, it's a little bit different from previous extraction moves since it's completely embedded on a single "site/drive id" (if you know what I mean). Assuming the commanded wheel turns were as reported on the MER website (2.5m each step), the slip factor was really high, as expected: 99.98 - 99.99% |
