QUOTE (djellison @ Jul 20 2005, 01:15 PM) I think we'll 'emerge' between the summits to be honest - so it's difficult to identify them at this point. We will barely spot them when we're there as well  Doug  Yes Doug, with the latest traverse maps it looks like it, like Spirit is moving between them, maybe sol 549 images can help us on that task, and they are arriving...

I was wandering around the data tracking site waiting for the images to come out
and, on the 4th line appears a message displayed that I've never seen before: 549 14:53:20 p1312.09. 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 Unexpected sequence!!!! What can it be, a wrong order? -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Unexpecteds are where it has more time than expected - so it fills it with something like atmospheric science I think.
i.e. a drive it quicker than expected - so it has time and power to spare - so it will do some opacity measurements or extra navcam frames or that sort of thing. Or if a drive is actually aborted by the rover - it'll be a different set of post-drive images. Doug |

OK, between 548 and 549 the rover obviously made some serious distance, but now I am lost as to where it is. At the end of 548 Spirit had made a slight turn to the left and had some choppy little rocks in its' path, now it seems to have found a smooth section to come to rest in, all the while gaining altitude.

These rocks look shiny/polished; many of the surfaces that are facing the same direction look much brighter!
