Do we know what Image data Curiosity will be attempting to upload on the next flyover pass? More hazcams only, or do weexpect to have the mast up and taking pics and ready to send? in 1 or 2 days? -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

There is a low bandwidth ODY pass that will happen in about 10 minutes that may have a couple new HazCams. Does anyone know when the first MARDI images are expected to be downlinked? I saw that 18 had been assigned a (relatively) high priority, but the JPL Ustream was just saying that the current pass would have only a HazCam or two.

Hello, I hope this is the correct thread - am posting in this one as I noticed previous discussion of the descent sequence imagery here. I'm wondering how much info could be derived about the MSL's hazard avoidance strategies from the sequence? I would suppose quite a lot - even as a non-expert I can see some horizontal motion ... wondering specifically about MSL's ability to choose the best landing spot. I realize the terrain is pretty benign already, but closer to the surface there must have must been some hazard avoidance? - BTW elsewhere, someone has also asked about the video indicating the descent stage shifting away from the parachute after separation, but I'm assuming the camera was only turned on after that separation?
Thanks and regards, Daniel -------------------- Daniel
