Saw the MSL video, which was similar to the MER video. It was awesome. Will try to get a copy

Is that Gale crater in the animation? Also, too bad the video doesn't show the skycrane crashing after leaving the rover.

No - it's a HiRISE DTM, but not one of the 4 final candidates.

Can you imagine the feedback if we did? A smouldering wreck with fuming hydrazine? A very expensive shot to model and animate as well. Not showing that was a very easy decision.

QUOTE (KrisK)
I suppose the reason is to make free space for robotic arm, am I correct?


Yup - it's to avoid a potential clearance issue when returning the arm back to stow or for sample delivery. Well spotted smile.gif

I do see a dust devil at one point; at least that's what I think it is? Nice touch.
