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.

That is really great news for Opportunity, but poor Spirit can't seem to catch a breeze.
I wonder why they started providing measurements of current when all previous announcements told us what energy the rover collected per sol. I don't know what the system voltage is, nor how to weight the incident energy distribution over a sol. Can anyone put this into perspective? If Opportunity was apparently able to serendipitously take advantage of better winds at a different physical location, Spirit may be able to perform the same feat. Do you think Spirit is capable of moving to a location with higher wind speeds, if it needs energy? -------------------- ...Tom

I don't know what the system voltage is, nor how to weight the incident energy distribution over a sol. Can anyone put this into perspective? Adjusted daily surface insolation (accounting for solar position and atmospheric losses) was approximately 16% higher on Sol 1164 versus Sol 18. My best estimate for sol 18 was that it generated 775 watt hours. At the same time last year (~23 Sols before Midsummer) panel output was about 620 watt hours per sol. It had peaked about 50 sols earlier at ~720watt hours per sol. If the 800 watt hours number is true then she is very close to the initial power levels on Sol 1 ~820 watt hours. Sol 1170 insolation is around 13% higher than Sol 1. |
