I'm working on Spirit at the moment. I will post a few examples of things as I go.
Right now the important job is updating the contemporary route map by locating the stops on HiRISE images. The existing maps at JPL, for the early part of the mission, were plotted on MOC images with inferior resolution and lighting, so I find many locations were about 15 or 20 m out. So at every site I am making circular panoramas (examples later) for comparison with HiRISE. Here's a first example, a map of the route during the Primary Mission. I have added a few extra placenames from the MER Analyst's Notebook at PDS. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

If anyone's curious, here are a couple of the images from that old thread, resurrected from the cobwebby depths of my harddrive:
Those are the only Gusev rim related pics I kept from that thread. It is a shame indeed about the hosting site. Even more so since these images were tiny - there was no reason not to put them on UMSF in the first place! |
