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 |

Anyone notice that after the sol 1022 move, we appear to be at a greater tilt than before?
Of course we need to know the orientation of the tilt as well. I always thought it was a bit odd the way they arrived at Low Ridge Haven way back when - they didn't spend much time trying to wiggle into a position with greater tilt. I guess they had enough. |

Yup, according to the rover quaternians on the tracking site (which I'm more confident about, after getting the tilt change right last time ) we are now at 12.55 degrees tilt and angled only 8.5 degrees from north.
