All the latest MI images from Opportunity shows this part of the rover:
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...KCP2957M1M1.JPG The only thing I can think of is that it is an image taken with the IDD stowed. Actually the front hazcam pictures confirms this. What can the reason for this be? A problem with the IDD so it didn't unstow, but somehow the MI carried out its tasks? -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

We've been at this site for about 3 days, and the IDD hasn't been deployed yet which seems a little unusual to me, its normally deployed almost immediately. Maybe those images were intended to see if there was any reason why it waas stuck

QUOTE (Sunspot @ Nov 26 2005, 05:26 PM) We've been at this site for about 3 days, and the IDD hasn't been deployed yet which seems a little unusual to me, its normally deployed almost immediately. Maybe those images were intended to see if there was any reason why it waas stuck I don't think so. The reason they took those front hazcam pics is that the IDD is supposed to do its stuff. And who needs 33 MI-pictures of the same area for an inspection? I think the computer sees some restriction for the arm and therefore doesn't move it. Either that, or the arm is stuck for some reason. Let's wait and see what happens after the weekend. |
