After first month on Mars, I think it's time to start a topic similar to MER one...
First odometry plot to start: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Since sol 402 the graph moves up in a straight line, about 30 m/sol. Can anybody comment on this average? Emily mentions in her blog that there is pressure to drive, drive, drive, but I also remember NASA's own Curiosity brochure that mentions "On average, Curiosity is expected to travel 200 m per driving day, depending on power levels, slippage, steepness of terrain, visibility.."
After more than 400 sols of building up experience with terrain, auto-nav etc. it may be possible to review this - on the face of it - 7-fold difference between "design" and "actual". Until then, every day I open the stats and the maps messages in UMSF I'm hoping to see this 200 m mark.. |

Since sol 402 the graph moves up in a straight line, about 30 m/sol. Can anybody comment on this average? Look more closely at that graph - there are many days in that graph that are not drive days. The last 10 drives have averaged more than 70 meters each. ( thank you http://curiositylog.com/ ) QUOTE I also remember NASA's own Curiosity brochure that mentions "On average, Curiosity is expected to travel 200 m per driving day, depending on power levels, slippage, steepness of terrain, visibility.." That brochure should be considered...a brochure. It's not an engineering analysis, it's not a peer reviewed paper in an engineering journal - it's just...a shiny brochure. 200M represents a round number near the upper limit of what Curiosity may eventually reach given full deployment of Autonav, smoother terrain with better visibility etc etc. We may not see 200M in a sol - but in a perfect scenario we might. |

New medium-term Odometry/Elevation plots (last 4 months):
(last update: Nov,02 - Sol 440) Note: added also integral picture statistics -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
