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.

Now, how about is the power level of Oppy. I see that latelly, Oppy is only permited to drive around 30 minutes per sol. However, up to know, Oppy still have not posed to tilt to north facing. I seems that Oppy has enough solar energy to rover for some days. Then , when do you believe that Oppy will not be allowed to traverse further? Where do you get that 30 min drive time from? And couldn't the reason be that they could drive for longer, but they don't want to? Unknown terrain etc. -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

Where do you get that 30 min drive time from? And couldn't the reason be that they could drive for longer, but they don't want to? Unknown terrain etc. The duration of transverse done by Oppy lately was around 30 minutes according tot he calculations which I have made. The Oppy's average speed is around 3.5 cms/sec, that is about 62.5 meters / 30 minutes. Hence, I deduct that Oppy is taking about 30 minutes of driving knowing that Oppy stops every 45 seconds to perform any navigation analysis related for 15 seconds before to resume again the drive. That is the driving distance would be 30*3/4 a little more than 22 minutes to cover a distance of 46 meters. On the other hand, I was acquainted by the JPL Marsrovers news that they were planning to drive the Oppy toward VC between 30 minutes to 2 hours depending to the energy reserve level. Hope I have cleared to your inquiry! Helvick, Thanks of your input! Rodolfo |
