I went to JPL yesterday to see them put the mobility model for MSL through its paces. It is HUGE!
Lots of pictures and video posted at http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001010/ I have the pictures (but not the video) at twice the resolution if anyone needs them for artistic purposes. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Holy moly - it's a MONSTER!
Excellent report Emily (and great new portrait, if I may say so ). The Pluto rover looks interesting too - are there any tentative plans to send smaller vehicles of this sort to Mars en masse? They would be great for scouting missions; looking for suitable locations for a MSL class rover to explore in more detail. Ian. -------------------- |
