MARDI images and videos Options

[Nix]

Do we know what Image data Curiosity will be attempting to upload on the next flyover pass? More hazcams only, or do weexpect to have the mast up and taking pics and ready to send?

in 1 or 2 days?

There is a low bandwidth ODY pass that will happen in about 10 minutes that may have a couple new HazCams. Does anyone know when the first MARDI images are expected to be downlinked? I saw that 18 had been assigned a (relatively) high priority, but the JPL Ustream was just saying that the current pass would have only a HazCam or two.

Hi guys,

after a long time trying to register and just reading your awsome stuff and learning, I am posting my own attempts to work with data. As we are all waiting for Perseverance to land, I was experimenting with the MARDI data.

This is my try with the complete EDL MARDI footage. I upscaled it, made little color corrections and sharpened it. A lot of others have tried this.

This is the detail of the heatshield impact. I upscaled, reprojected, aligned the images, made some color corrections and sharpened them a little.

Of this I am a little proud. It took all three weeks to figure it out. This is a 8K VR 360 version from 8km above the surface (the beginning of the sequence without the first 4 frames). I sharpened the images, filtered out the color noise and stitched all the views together and after that I aligned around 390 images till the impact. On youtube, you can use the + key to zoom in on 360 videos.

I would love to hear the feedback from you guys. And thanks for everything here. It teached me a lot and I find it amazing, that such a comunity exists.

I love your videos MarT! Particularly the last one which is really awesome, I feel like it gives a new perspective on the EDL.
