... From Crumpler's latest post. This anouncement in Crumpler's post is very interesting: "After we take a look at the local outcrops up here on the ridge crest, and maybe drive to the local summit for a good view of the crater, we will start driving south along the west side of the rim." Given the uneven terrain on the Western side of the rim this means for the next few Years Oppy will always be within a few 100m of a North facing slope, which I think is a good decision |

...for the next few Years Oppy will always be within a few 100m of a North facing slope, which I think is a good decision In fact, they shows 3 possible paths in this region, while "next long-term target is about 600 m south along the west side of the crater rim"; however, the 10-26 sol drive time seems optimistic to me (unless they refers only to full, long drive sols!) -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
