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. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

QUOTE (Analyst @ Nov 30 2004, 06:29 PM) Hello everybody, I’am happy to have found this board. It’s full of information (and some speculation) you can’t get at the official website. But you already know this. I ask myself why are the guys at JPL so lazy in putting new infos (status reports, maps) online? You (in the US) pay for this tax. Where are the latest pictures (haz- and navcam) of Opportunity from? Is there a release before they are put on the official site, because the latest at JPL are from sol 298? I believe they press on for the heatshield and exit this week?! Analyst from Germany (excuse my English) The main reason we dont get many updates from JPL is because they're now running on very little money. It's the minimum number of staff running normal 9-5 hours and it doesnt leave much time to do the publicity side of things. As for the raw imagery - we all look here - http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/ - it's very very quickly updated sometimes. Doug ( from England, it's not my tax money ) |
