First route map! I will keep it going, mostly on LROC images, as I need it for a future project. I am still working on an accurate scale.

This is a very tentative map update. We have no images to help with the current position, but there is a report that the rover is 40 m south of the lander and 'a little bit left' which I am interpreting to mean left on a north-up map, not left as the rover drove.
So... position is very tentative and the shape of the route unknown, and even the date of the drive is uncertain. So all this may be changed later. But for now it's the best we can do. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil Great : you did it quite good Phil ! Here is the LRO image : congratulations to you again for your new Yu-Tu positioning close to the spot on the LRO image (small arrow) with almost no data at all ...and Happy NEW YEAR's Eve ! ![]() |
