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 -------------------- |

How are you missing (as Doug said) that if you only have a "north component", you aren't pointing north. As Matt sez you are only interrested in power. Very early on (years ago) there were JPL MER press releases ploting the amount of power a rover would generate in a day with the sun arching over with any particular slope and direction toward the sun. There were pictures of green "lilly pads" (good power) and red zones (bad power). Maybe Matt can drop a power lilly pad JPEG of Cape York on us...
