There you go ladies I've labelled the big bits so we can sing from the same song sheet. I'd suspect that they'd like to look at A for the science of the imapct, and almost certainly E because it'll be a nice piece of heatsheild detached from the danger zone near C and D I think C/D will be avoided like the plague - too much chance for danger - but when we get the R navcam frame for the middle of that mosaic - I think we'll see that B is 5 - 10m further away than C/D. If they're happy to look at B -then I think we'll see A - B - then possibly E - or just leave after B. But - like the Parachute and backshell - C/D has too much potential to hurt the rover - it's got to be 2m tall For scale - from A to E is about 38 metres - and Eagle Crater was about the size of the gap between B and E Doug |
