Tesheiner, I read about the 10K mark, and was hoping that you had updated the route map to show the excursion that put us over the mark -- and you didn't disappoint!
By the way, I'm thinking that Oppy's getting ready to head back to Duck Bay, which looks like the past entry path, plus nice vertical cliffs to examine on the way in . . . |

I don't know about that. I think from what Squyres has said, they're more likely to enter the crater in the next three or four bays. I'm thinking that this last drive, up and away from the rim, is a set-up for a short sprint straight east into the dark streaks. Oppy can then work south towards the rim through the major dark streak, characterizing the soils outside the streak, inside the streak, and along the boundaries. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

QUOTE (kenny @ Feb 8 2007, 10:16 AM) Clealry, they are mssing out Cabo Corrientes. Mmm, I would guess they are still planning to drive onto Cabo Corrientes. Here is the rationale: The "post-drive" mosaics taken on sol 1080 were headed at 144º, meaning that the rover driver's primary interest for the next move is centered on that heading. In other words, it might be possible that the next move is on heading 144º i.e. towards Cabo Corrientes. Now, the next move is already planned; it's on sol 1082 (today). Among the planned imaging sequences is, again, the "post-drive" navcam mosaic this time centered at 162º. Based on the previous assumption that today's move will be headed at 144º and (another assumption) the post-drive navcam mosaic is centered on the cape tip, I did the following picture with Opportunity's possible (?) location after today's move. My two cents.
OT: FWIW, sol 1082 activities include one more Phobos transit imaging session. |
