Don't apologise Paolo, we're all thrilled you're here. And if you want to drive over *there* feel free, I'd love a look at those hills close-up!

I'd be utterly confused as to rover positioning without the ongoing work by UMSF image wizards, so cheers to all, looking forward to the upcoming drives

Some serious driving is in the works. By noon (PDT) on Sunday we should know if we got it all in. Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Roll on, Paolo! (Great to see you back on UMSF, BTW, hope all is well!)

Roll on, Paolo! (Great to see you back on UMSF, BTW, hope all is well!) I'm all right but a bit too busy with MSL to enjoy driving Oppy. My next shift is on June 6th!

Wow, found a vein already? <...> They're all over the place: That's what I thought too. Some serious driving is in the works. By noon (PDT) on Sunday we should know if we got it all in. Rolling, rolling, rolling... Paolo Where's the "Like" button? I measured about 50m NNE and it's confirmed by the pancam database. Route map update in a minute. |

Sol 2965 was only 50.5 meters, it was cut short because we hit the lower limit for northerly tilt. This was one of the expected possible result, so today we have nominal F/R HAZ.

50 meters sounds pretty good to me! Azimuth of the drive was about 18º from north according to the metadata.

Thanks for the map update, Tesh. I was pointed completely upside down with my previous question. I am not unfamiliar with such revelations here on our home planet
