The map from the report on Oppy's traverse is quite interesting, albiet a bit small.
I've really stretched and sharpened the image and added Tesheiner's excellent route map on top. Thought that this might give everyone a better idea of where Oppy is and the road ahead. |

We're also 11km (nearly) dead South of the landing site. This could help for scale.
Astro0, does the colour difference in another 2 kms or so, on the scheduled path, shows when we'll be going downhill? Sorry it's not THAT clear to me. If yes, it'll be helpfull to put a clear mark on the map, I think. Pending we'll have a 360° pan very soon, we'll have to launch a "Find Victoria" campaing. Hopefully in another 6-8 months (I try to be conservative since winter's coming), we'll be at the start of the downhill path and could also start to look for mini-Endurance crater. All this to say: your post is very helpfull Astro0. -------------------- |

All this to say: your post is very helpfull Astro0. I'd like to echo climber's comments above. To Astro0, Tesh, Phil and all the others who take the time to create and upload the diagrams/graphs/misc items a big thank you. It really does help a newbie such as myself to put a great deal of information and factors surrounding various rover decisions into context. Neil |
