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.

Yesterday the Planetary Society posted one of its excellent MER status reports.
http://planetary.org/news/2005/1130_Mars_E...ate_Spirit.html The report quotes Albert Haldemann, rover deputy project scientist, as stating on November 29 that both rovers are in "good health." This of course doesn't negate the possibility that JPL is keeping an emerging problem under its vest for now, but it's something. TTT [edit start] P.S. Whoops! whatonmars.com has just recorded a JPL Opportunity update that discusses the stalled arm. http://whatonmars.com/?q=node/778 I continue to be impressed (depressed?) by how unnecessarily complex and cryptic the jpl MER site is. I tried several times to find this update starting with http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html, and failed each time. This post has been edited by Tom Tamlyn: Dec 2 2005, 02:47 AM |
