Wow. Gets dark doesn't it. Are those piles of dust laying on the deck of the Viking Lander?

QUOTE (sranderson @ Oct 18 2005, 09:12 PM) The piles of dust were made trough soil sampling activities when soil was put inside the collector funnels of the soil analysis and biology instruments. Wind effects were quicky observed as piles of dust moved swiftly across the deck of the Lander which had a grid painted on it to measure such movements... However, at the end of the mission, after having endured 5 big dust storms, the VL1 lander deck and covers were losing their gray blue color and parts of them were already looking red-brown... ![]() |
