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

You could be right, I assumed it was down by the right hand rule but, haven't looked into if that fits observations.
EDIT: Ah, OK we actually agree, I misunderstood you, as I wrote the wrong thing in my first post. The z (actually c) vector IS down (-ve up) but I should have written that the rover was pitched UP as you correctly pointed out. -------------------- |
