OK, we have left the dunes, and it's time for a new chapter in our story as we head south to Vera Rubin (formerly known as Hematite) Ridge.

ICe stitch of the sol1661 chemcam. I found the pointing for the RMI's (169.48° to 171.78°), but would like to calculate the approximate height of the cliff face and or the width of the terrain covered by the mosaic. Google Earth (Pro) does not have high res map coverage in that section of the mountain, or I could have used their measuring tool for a rough guide based on the bearing. At that long range AlgorimancerPG would likely be of little use, even if I had the stereo pair to go with the frame below? Does anyone have an idea of the distance to the target? Or has someone already worked out the scale for this mosaic? TIA |
