QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Feb 9 2009, 07:46 PM)  Thanks, all. There'll be no problem to keep updating it IF I sort out the way to do it automatically. Quite a long time has passed without exercising my programming skills... If you do does this mean you won't be posting the maps to this thread on UMSF.com any more? ====== Stephen |

No. I enjoy doing them and my intention is to continue.

Tesheiner, from your map covering the whole distance between Victoria and Endeavour is it possible to find posted here the first section? The rectangle on the top left? Eagerly wanting to start mapping the second leg of the journey...

Here's a link (http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&p=127283, thanks James!) to a Tim Parker's post with a picture covering the whole route. I did a similar one on my own using CTX and HiRISE images which is the overview picture seen on the top left corner of the route map but I don't have it at full resolution, only at 25m/pix so it's maybe too small for your purposes. The original CTX image covering both VC and Endeavour is P01_001414_1780 but you'll have to rotate and re-scale it to match with the route map. PM me for more details.

Thanks Tesheiner! That was just what I was looking for.
Have the new map ready, waiting for tosol's drive to update it, got the arrival to Porcupine set now for march 22 and the end of leg two for October 10, 2009...although I'm expecting Oppy to recover some of those 94 days of delay...

Can someone please remind me what the scale of the grid on this map is?
Thanks in advance. |

Wow, we're really moving now.

Fantastic progress is being made by Oppy at the moment. Well done to RoverDriver and his colleagues!
Happy days...and I see Spirit is thought to have had a little "cleaning event" over at Gustav.

Not so fast. Today's drive was the shortest since the occultation period making a net move of around 4m (11.5m backwards followed by 16m forward slightly to the left of the previous path).

I thought it might help visualise our progress and speed towards Endeavour by plotting Opportunities position every 100 sols on a large map.
Now we're at sol 1800 here is the first one.
and with the ripple map overlay
