Do you think that there would be some good science in getting Oppy back to its sol 2751 wheel tracks, just to check out how much of it was so far erased by the Martian weather in 360 Sols?

In a word...no. MRO can do a far better job monitoring long-term changes in the tracks, the vast majority of which will undoubtedly be fine bright dust deposition.

Well, perhaps some value, but it's been done - way back when leaving Endurance, IIRC.

And repeated at Victoria.

It is a part of "coleman" (See MER Pancam Data Tracking Web Interface) and I think it is a bit away from "Stobie"

And repeated at Victoria. Phil I keep forgeting how old and experienced is our girl. "Been there, done that!!" she could have answered! Thanks for clearing that out for me, guys! This is one question that won't pop out of my mouth next time Oppy crosses her own tracks again on, say, sol 5000 or perhaps 6000!! |

Do you think that there would be some good science in getting Oppy back to its sol 2751 wheel tracks, just to check out how much of it was so far erased by the Martian weather in 360 Sols? As Phil and others have mentioned, this has been done before. Specifically in the Sol 1600s Oppy analyzed her tracks from Sols 950s (arrival at Victoria, pre dust storm), 1290s (post dust storm) and her most recent tracks at the time (after soending one Earth year in Duck Bay). I think we took NAV/PAN and HAZ, maybe MIs as well. I don't recall the specific Sol number but it is definitely after 1634 and before 1659. I think this is one of them: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...YP1981L0M2.HTML You can clearly see the three different type of tracks. That is a span of about 700 Sols!

And don't forget about Spirit! She crossed tracks that were over 1000 sols old on a number of occasions.
