hello.. i am trying to model in 3d the mars rover and can't find the correct material, so I was wondering whether anyone in here has access to more information than I do and cares to help.
I am looking for detailed pictures of rover parts from all sides (top, left, right and bottom). I am attaching a few pics for the members to see the progress of my work. Trying to be as accurate as possible. Process is really slow since I have to make stuff out of bad reference pics I've tried collecting material from the nasa site, from raw images coming from the rover, from roobtics' sites etc, but couldn't come up with the correct reference i am seeking. if anyone cares to help, please do so -------------------- |

I am mostly worried about the cables on the back right side of the mer, the ones that are also shown in the third image (from the pancam view) and the 5-6 others that are tied perpendicular one to another...they seem to go downwards. Then what? Do they 'disconnect' in some way from the lander and be with no ends?
From the photos it looks like they are using that harness for remote controlling the mer :/ James, if you happen to know any more info, I would be glad to hear it. If I knew what was going on, I would have finished the project like a year ago.. -------------------- |

Hi scooterlord, congratulations for your last piece of work, I would like to go back to the missing cables question (I discovered the posts only now!).
If you look carefully to the pictures from rear hazcam and to the 'empty nest' pan (from James post), you will notice that the cables were going down from MER to the lander and are cut; the cut is near the retention mechanism and is probably made with a pyro system after landing (any further detail from someone more expert than me?)... I hope this can help you! -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
