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.

It was about 3 in the afternoon though. Does it make sense that the sun would be behind the downward-pointing camera? Well, MARDI has a wide field of view (90 degrees) and wasn't always pointed exactly down (Curiosity dangling a bit below the parachute plus the fact that it wasn't falling straight down - there was a horizontal component as well). |
