Ok, here we go again. My route map, updated to sol 912. PS: This latest position is derived from a 55m drive on a heading about 14º to the left (east) of "Gamma". Love the labeling I think that sometime in the next few days we ought to be able to firmly tie Hawking Rock to a feature on the C-Proto image, I have strong suspicions already. I noticed today that it is already spanning about 3 pixels in height from the current position. Seems big for a meteorite, but not inconceivable. Could be the Monolith I suppose, but seems too pointy |

You should be quick or Oppy will run by that rock before we can locate it! At the moment, both your's and Phil's route maps suggest that Oppy is pretty-near aiming straight for Hawking rock, so it looks like we'll get to know it much better before long. The real trick will be to fix it to a nice unambiguous position on the route map, much as when we first hit Jesse Chisolm (West Hillock). Anyone know whether there is an ongoing campaign to have MGS periodically the rovers with c-proto images? It's been a long time since the last one. |

I just want to remind that Doug once said that MRO's images will not surpass MGS c-proto's. So, we'd better get some more soon! In another end and IIRC, I red a long time ago that they were expecting MRO's pictures to help explore VC. Some contradictions there. -------------------- |
