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

Last couple of drives or so. The change in drive strategy is readily apparent.

The change in drive strategy is readily apparent. The plan as they discussed at the briefing was to continue with backwards drives, and as far as I know no change in strategy has happened yet. They said they may try to wiggle the RF to dig it in, but there's no sign from the images that they've tried that yet. We'll just have to wait and see as always... |

To help me (and I would hope others) gain a better understanding of Spirit's current predicament is anyone able to give us Spirit's current tilt angle and her predicted power production over the winter months? I think a summary of what the different power levels would signify could be very informative. For instance, (and I'm making these numbers up, below 180W means end of scientific measurements, below 160W means loss of daily contact etc)
(Not sure if this is in correct thread or wants to be in winter @ Troy) Neil |
