Hi Everyone. I am starting a thread for discussions of the many ways people are interacting with Perseverance (and potentially other missions). These subjects are getting spread around other threads and maybe getting in the way of basic mission updates etc., so this is a place to bring this together. Feel free to contribute to it.
I am going to start by asking about panoramas - what's the best way to do this with Perseverance images, especially Navcam images from every end of drive? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

For those who would be interested, I have coded in Python (and in the good old IDL) the algorithms to compute Ls, LMST, LTST and elevation / azimuth of the Sun for a given time in UTC and latitude/longitude: https://github.com/thomasappere/MarsTime_PositionSun
This work is partly based on routines written by Aymeric Spiga, a planetary scientist in Paris with who I worked during my PhD. I checked my outputs with the results given by Mars24 and there is a very good match. -------------------- |
