In the past we've had some good Viking images here. Soon - all too soon - we will not have Phoenix any more, but despair not! Now we can re-live Viking by playing with old images. They can be searched by sol at the PDS.
As an example, I've made a composite of the very last Surface Sampler activities at either Viking site. This is work done on Viking 2 sol 957 and imaged on sol 957 and 959. (someone can animate it if they like!) We see two separate trenching activities at the same place, and a soil dump (bottom) and a conical soil pile made by the second dump (middle). (more obvious in an animation, I just can't make one on this machine). Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

I add links to all high-resolution color images :
VL1 (Olivier): VL2 (Olivier) : Goursac-Mars15.jpg Goursac-Mars13.jpg visions-mars09-1280x1024.jpg visions-mars09-1440x900.jpg There are also "old" cited in post # 61: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/p...rs.html#surface But quality is not perfect ... Here's another one from Ricardo Nunes who also worked with Ted Stryk's super-resolution images as mentioned in post #5 of this thread. Two other images of Ted Stryk : http://planetimages.blogspot.fr/2011/04/vi...m-viking-1.html http://planetimages.blogspot.fr/2014/07/th...y-viking-1.html |
