I've been a heavy user of Midnight Mars Browser for several years and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Michael has done.
Now I ask myself, should we create again an alternative way to look and search for images coming from Mars? In the last several months I developed a way to ingest InSight images in order to have a small database and a telegram bot that tells me when a new image is uploaded to the InSight web site and I can try to do the same with the MSL imagery. But, I have several questions: What is the better way to show the data in the web page? Which is the best way to order the images? I'd love to hear some suggestions for that. Greetings. |

I would suggest something that resembles the structure of MMB. I have found it very useful for years. Having access via a list of sols, and access to the previous and next sols, is great. And ordering images by time within a sol is very useful.

Phil Not sure how far you want to take this, but Joe Knapp's MSL image browser also had some very useful features, of the many features the one I used the most was the pointing data which Joe got from the mission NAIF service. Good luck if you choose to create a browser |
