Might I humbly suggest this new thread, as Victoria looms large before us..?
GREAT images guys. I was out last night and have only just got online, to find Victoria opening up ahead of us... what a fantastic time! -------------------- |

Well we're not sure that RATing was on the cards are we? So maybe the last drive was OK - it just seems to me like quite an odd target to have driven too.
It is odd that the drive abort wasn't mentioned in the latest update, normally that kind of thing is included. You can infer it however as they say: QUOTE Sol 931: Opportunity bumped to a rover arm target at Emma Dean But then only remote sensing is done for several sols before Oppy moved again. What I also find odd about the aborted drive is that Oppy still seemed to do the turn in place to line up for UHF passes. I was under the impression that when a drive aborted that was it, drive over, wait for further instuctions. The drives that have been done look fine - it's not slippage and all the wheels seem to be working as normal. I'll be interesting to see what is done on 938 - there is just more remote sensing on the tracking site at the moment (Ustrax will be pleased ) but maybe it's still a bit early? -------------------- |
