QUOTE Opportunity at Meridiani Sol: 5127 Time: 12:51 Spirit at Gusev Sol: 5148 Time: 14:18 http://www.planetary.org/multimedia/space-...lakdawalla.html This doesn't seem right---Opportunity is at the opposite side of the planet from Spirit, so the LST times should be around 12 hours apart. Having the correct local time for Oppy is useful for checking the DSN Now comm schedule. |

Opportunity is at the opposite side of the planet from Spirit, so the LST times should be around 12 hours apart. Maybe overkill, but I use https://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/mars24/ -- right now it says it's 11:24 at Meridiani and 01:14 at Gale, which sounds about right. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
