Oppy's next destination - the Shoemaker Ridge...
(3D version here http://roadtoendeavour.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/sr-3d.jpg ) Some more height...surrounded by lots of gorgeous rocks...view right across Endeavour... our first view too, probably, of the Promised Land in the centre of Cape York where the phylosillicates are waiting to be found... Go get 'em, Oppy! Edit: looks like Oppy's on the move... http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...84P1211L0M1.JPG -------------------- |

We got a significant set of images in the Evening Data Express-- a series of "boot-toe scuff" Pancams in the close-in "systematic foreground" format in full L and R filter sets, command sequence P2559. This is a good indication that Oppy is at or near the site of the CRISM signal.
Meanwhile, read up on CRISM: http://crism.jhuapl.edu/ --Bill -------------------- |

Meanwhile, read up on CRISM: http://crism.jhuapl.edu/ --Bill ... Well, this data took 42 years to reach us... It must come from the old Mariners : "Release Date: Dec 31, 1969" : a nice typo ... |
