I guess the question is: how does the rover decide if it's midday? One idea would be exceeding some minimum power level. More elaborate would be to take several power level samples over at least a day and fit a sinusoid. If it's something like the former it may get stuck thinking it's not midday until tau drops sufficiently.

More elaborate would be to take several power level samples over at least a day and fit a sinusoid. Perhaps, but this kind of elaborate solution that requires state to be recorded and used from sol to sol is usually not used in deep fault responses, because it's really hard to test all the possible permutations. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
