As a courtesy, it'd be nice if people could not broadly release these for a few days. If our mosaic turns out worse, then the better mosaic will win in the end. If you do release anyway, make sure you have the right image credits and be advised that I may be somewhat miffed at you. We've been working on this particular project since before landing and I feel like we are having to rush it to avoid being scooped. I can't thank the whole MSSS and MSL team enough for sharing the images with us and making this possible. I apologize for releasing the one's I put together to soon. I will be sure to hold off in the future and add appropiete image credits as well on any future work. I encourage everyone to do the same. |

I will be sure to hold off in the future... The self-portrait was kind of a special case. Many of the mosaics being shot (e.g. with Mastcam) are unlikely to get special treatment or even an official release, and those seem like fair game with proper credit. Hopefully the self-portrait will be one of the iconic images of the mission, so we feel a bit proprietary about it (especially since it's been a long road getting the whole sequence designed and then convincing everyone to take it.) The real unsung heroes are the rover planners at JPL for figuring out how to make the arm behave as desired -- they've been great. I think the official release is just going up now. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
