With Spirit starting to get on the move again (even though it's a very small first step), I think that it's high time we got a new topic going and re-invigorate the Spirit thread.
OK. Spirit's moving again after 6 months at Low Ridge. Here's an animation of the turn (enhanced Front Haz Cam). A big cheer for our little girl at Gusev. Let's support her with lots of discussion on UMSF. Astro0 |

Oh, I don't know - maybe it's the curmudgeon in me, but imagine Spirit being a little cranky after such a long nap. She is the more surly of the two, even according to His Steveness. If I were an old rover with a gimpy wheel and a sibling who seems to get all the luck and headlines, I might have more of a reaction like this from Professor Fate upon being awoken after a nice relaxing break:

Squyres talks here about some "etched terrain" off to the southwest being the next stop after Home Plate and vicinity. Can anyone point out just what he's talking about? Thanks.

Also, I think you can see it in Sol 595 PanCam images taken on top of Husband Hill. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...NP2282L5M1.HTML. http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...NP2282R1M1.HTML http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...NP2282R7M1.HTML And in the pan released 22nd December 2005 http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pan...pirit/2005.html You can also see large crater: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...NP2284R2M1.HTML |
