Do you think it would be safe enough to drive the rover into the "crater"? Perhaps they could perform a trenching operation inside the impacted area to see how far down the bedrock is.
Looking at the heatshield in it's current state.....I think it may literally be "inside out"... the shiny layer we see was part of an insulating layer on the inside of the heatshield. You can just make out a kind of rough textured surface on the other side which I think might be the abaltive material on the front of the heatshield. It's a little easier to see in this image: |
