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. |

So I went sol-searching for the intent of coding self-improvement...
And it seems as if the NASA index Rob is using is all jacked up: https://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl-raw-images/im...e_manifest.json The data seems fine until you get to sol "191" which for some reason has "sol192" inside, then it just snowballs from there, by the time its gets to sol '2382' it has 'sol2639' inside! or maybe i just dont understand what NASA is doing..? anyways, i didn't look into it any further yet and so remain thoroughly flummoxed and perplexed! ..of course i had to check again, it goes nuts at 'sol' 200 implying no MSL downlink for 15 days -and yes thats what i see in Midnight Planets "Memory anomaly", so Rob probably didnt use those numbers for anything and just looks at the catalog_url, so NASA seems to have incorrectly labeled their index 'sols' but its really just a plain old enumerated sequence unrelated to actual sols.. its nice to know there is this wealth of data indexed for each recorded sol |
