How come that Opportunity has not moved for almost a week now. What are they doing? Does't look like they are using the IDD on anything. Are the taking panorama images??
Perhaps there is a lack of rover drivers so when Spirit has moved alot recently Opportunity got left behind -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

NEARLY there
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...D7P1311L0M1.JPG I think it's done quite a long drive actually - 5 - 10m, straight past that white paved exit road, and much closer to Karatape (I knew it ) On this LARGE image - http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pre..._cyl-B296R1.jpg I'd put them right on the right hand edge - about 295 degrees and at about 0 elevation. Not a full on Karatape exit - but it will cross it's own track marks just outside the crater on the way to the heatshield - as remember it circled round the southern half of the crater as far as Burns Cliff before going in. Right - I've done some REALLY bad images that depict what I THINK is the route the old girls taken since entering - very very roughly Maybe I'm really wrong - but it's been difficult to keep track of what it's been doing to be honest Doug |
