Drive during 1944, L-NavCam pan roughly stitched in MS ICE be should be good to help pinpoint the location. (the plan called for a 25 meter drive south)

I'm not sure the surge in bayer encoded images is related to the computer/memory patches. The drill sample analyses consume a lot of power, so it makes sense to downlink selected old observations at full resolution if there's no reason to use the cameras on a given sol. This also appears to be the end of the VRR campaign, so a nice, full-resolution mosaic is good for both traverse planning and for a nice press release saying 'this is where we're going next'. I think we'll see a return to compressed images once Curiosity hits the road again.
(I think a lot of those black and white images are also multispectral observations to characterize iron oxidation state and mineralogy along the ridge. Going to try to figure out how to play with these soon.) All that said, I would really love to get the debayered raw images through the pipeline. They're hard enough to get good results from that I don't even bother with them anymore. |
