Oppy looks like to be stuck in a dune once more!
The front wheels (rover was moving backwards into the dune) look to be closer to solid surface than during the purgatory incident, so hopefully they can back out pretty quickly. I know this is already being discussed in the other thread, but I think this way the incident is clearer to a casual reader of the forum. Threads of nearly 1000 posts clog the discussion anyway. http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...GBP1151R0M1.JPG http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...GBP1311R0M1.JPG inline images changed to links. 2048 x 1024 of images clogs discussions as well - Doug -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

A whole lot of doom and gloom when we don't know how stuck it is, how much driving took place.
Remember the mini-purgatory back toward the NE rim of Erebus. They were out of it a sol later, Give it 2 sols....THEN maybe there's grounds to be slightly nervous, but even then, we got out of Purgatory, this will be a breeze. Doug |
