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.

Out of the camera doesn't mean on the ground. They have to be pulled from the cameras own memory to the rover before getting downlinked.
And are you sure they were talking about MARDI and not the rest of the MastCam mosaic? |

...are you sure they were talking about MARDI and not the rest of the MastCam mosaic? Yep, the speaker quoted Mike Malin's comment from when the original thumbnail film was released that they can't just take the memory stick out of MARDI and put it into the Rover's main computer, so yeah, the discussion was specifically about the MARDI images. Really good point about the difference between getting them out of the camera and getting them back down to Earth, though. Thanks. The new full-res images that are popping up are really whetting my appetite, though... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
