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.

Thanks, Tesheiner, I seemed to recall an earlier anomaly but couldn't remember the details.
To confirm what we have assumed what we see, I found an MI image from Sol 002 taken with the IDD stowed; it shows the same objects in the field of view that we see now. The dust cover was open, so the image is clearer (I suspect that the dust cover now has a coating of dust). The right front wheel can be seen in the background as this image was taken before the wheels were unfolded into the working position. Interesting to browse those first images... --Bill -------------------- |
