I've been looking at the new entries at the PDS for WHR quotes, to compile as good a list of actual quoted Whr values as I can......so if you find one, add it to this thread and I'll update this post with figures....any source as long as it's an actual figure and an actual sol.


B0515 - 418 Whrs
B0522 - 462 Whrs

SPIRIT UPDATE: Spirit Continues Work Even As Martian Winter Deepens - sol 867-873, June 21, 2006:

Spirit continues to be productive, even as winter conditions harshen. Spirit now receives about one-third as much solar energy as the rover received in mid-2005 while on "Husband Hill." That is, the rover now receives about 310 watt-hours per Martian day, or sol,

Helvick , does your projection account for Spirits current tilt?

No. My estimates are based on a horizontal orientation and have never taken tilt into account which is a major flaw that I never got round to fixing. Spirit's current tilt adds around 15% extra power to those numbers so the current estimated value from my last chart of around 270whr would go up to around 310whr which agrees pretty well with the reported value. The minimum values from Sol 923-938 will be around 285whr which is very low but higher than the worst that was seen in the climb up Husband Hill.
