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 |

From the August 18, 2006 mission status for sols 929-932
"Spirit is collecting about 280 watt-hours of electrical power each sol from the rover's solar array" http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status.html 280 going once, 280 going twice, do I hear 300? |

280 going once, 280 going twice, do I hear 300? I think she'll be hovering around this number for at least another three weeks unless we get a cleaning event but it is very good to see that the number has not fallen below 280whr at all - that definitely confirms that dust accumulation on the panels remains very low. |

Three weeks later... still at 280 whrs.
Even though spirit is not doing much, she's active beyond "wake up, beep okay, go to sleep" so there's still some power margin. The good news is that following the 8/8 solstice the sun is up a little higher every day. Sun vs dust accumulation, sun wins - right? I figure spirit will be out and about around the third anniversary of her landing for sure. Hopefully sooner. |
