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.

About PDS imagery, I think I forget to show you this late afternoon Navcam panorama taken at Sol 1984. I've made this about 1 year ago.

Beautiful work indeed Yes : images taken with loooong shadows are always very beautiful... As a reminder, here is the triplet I made end of 2010, carefully extracting colors from the images from the Calypso pan and merging them with the images taken on Sols 2001 to 2003. Explanations are found at : http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=169422 Enjoy also |
