“Spirit” Cover on Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine: 14 November 2005
Rocky Martian High: Spirit Takes the Summit “Spirit” at the Summit of Husband Hill appears as the Cover image for the 14 November 2005 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine. The highly detailed 6 page cover package, titled "Rocky Martian High", describes the dramatic flight operations of the JPL/Cornell team as Spirit completed work on a Martian mountaintop: see www.aviationweek.com. The cover photo of Spirit and 2 additional pictures inside (full widescreen view and hazcam of Hillary rock outcrop), were derived by an international team of Mars enthusiasts indicating how outside analysts can use the raw imagery data from the rovers available to everyone.

Everyone,
What an indescrible joy it has been to work as an international team on a project we all love so dearly. A labor of love over many long nights and weekends. The power of teamwork is exemplified by my awesome friends Marco, Doug and Bernhard !!!! We present this to honor the outstanding achievements of the Mars Exploration Rover Team led by the brilliant Principal Investigator Steve Squyres of Cornell University as "Spirit" expanded the envelope in the quest for Science at the Summit of Husband Hill. check this out on the Aviation Week Magazine free site and view the enlarged pdf http://www.aviationnow.com/avnow/news/chan...ews/11145p1.xml its time to update your wallpaper and kudos Doug for creating this forum which brought us all together in a series of incredible incidents !!!!! ken |

Yes, Ken, it was a beautiful cooperation, especially if you consider that was done by people that never meet phisically each other!
This brings me thinking what an incredible privilege we have to live in the computers and Internet epoch, our fathers didn't imagine this amazing possibility to capture images taken by a robot on Mars only few hours ago, elaborate them and share our results inside a virtual meeting room (this great forum), always populated by wonderful, talented and educated people! I want to express my deep gratitude to all members, especially the ones which stimulated me from the beginning, in order to obtain ever improving results. Masters like Tman, Nico, Phil, Michael and many many others, without you this achievement wouldn't be possible, thrust me! Hope this is only the beginning, meanwhile I would like to post another version of Sol618 panorama, not published on AWST and very close to the original one posted in this Forum; Bernhard did a great colorization on it and I worked a lot to improve initial result... frankly speaking, I prefere this one and hope someone will choose this as PC wallpaper! Thanks to everyone, my friends! Marco EDIT: added full image credits -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
