The ~85m drive on sol 3744 was uphill, starting the long climb of Cape Tribulation.

I'm curious how James has learnt this - has the tracking database provided clues?

I'm curious how James has learnt this - has the tracking database provided clues? I don't know for sure. If I comment that there is no data on Twitter I get a bunch of worried replies, so i was really heading that off as there is no reason to be concerned. Circumstantial evidence that Oppy is OK: 1) We've seen data/images drop out many times before. 2) Recent comments on Twitter from insiders have sounded routine and unconcerned. 3) There are old images/data downlinked on recent sols. 4) New sequences are appearing in the tracking database (all be it just tau obs) 5) There are a bunch of 'Unexpected sequences' in the on board data list (which implies that the rover has sent data that the database had not been told about, i.e. ground data is missing, rover data fine) -------------------- |
