QUOTE I would bet that those blankets could blow around in the wind. Not something you'd want to get your antennas and camera masts stuck in! The material is fairly stiff, I doubt there is anything to blow around in the wind, especially in the thin Martian atmosphere. A parachute would be a different story of course, but the main reason they're driving around the big fragment is that the smaller fragment's scorched outer layer is easily accessible for IDD work. They of course are also imaging the big fragment in different angles. |
