Spaceweather (www.spaceweather.com) is reporting a dust storm on Mars visible in amateur telescopes. Hope we don't get too much dust-fall on the solar panels....

Yes, it will only be looking a narrow angle from west (288 degree) to south (108 degree) ... I suppose that the summer time the sun would be passing to sunset on that angle.
Or perhaps, that angle is the proposed route so the team wants to focus closer the terrain toward the Mogollon rims. It might means that the rover will advance too. I think that the only change has come out from Pancam Tracking Databaes is that now it does not show any engineering commands that previously had appeared. Still not sure but I noticed and it might be too early to jump conclusions. Rodolfo |
