Putting this here, for reference as the payload of the JSON feed link for Perseverence raws (see source in other thread here)

Good info from Emily Lakdawalla on twitter:
QUOTE @elakdawalla 8:54 PM · Mar 1, 2021
- I just got off WebEx with Justin Maki, who leads of the Perseverance engineering camera team. I've learned a lot and gotten a lot of confused questions sorted out. I'll try to bang out a blog entry with lots of techy detail about raw images tomorrow. - The TL;DR: of the interview was: a lot of the things that are weird and confusing in the raw image metadata from sols 1-4 have to do with the rover being on the cruise flight software at the time. - For example, the cruise flight software did not "know" how to automatically create image thumbnails. So they had to instruct the rover computer with separate commands to make thumbnails for each image, which is why sequence IDs don't match up between thumbnail and full-res. - Many of the more confusing issues were solved by the flight software update. They're going to continue to tweak parameters over the next week or two, testing to see what modes they like best for returning their data, but before long they'll settle into some routines. - It's SO FUN to see this process working out in real time. They *could* hold all the images back until they're happy with their tweaking, but they're not. They're just shunting the images out, never mind the temporarily wonky metadata. |
