No. It is visible in pancam images immediately after landing, such as this one.
That being said, I don't know what it is. Anyone else know? -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Hard to spot it on the landing shot, but the location seems to have shifted since ! ?
(would it not appear at the same location every pancam view?)... -------------------- 'She drove until the wheels fell off...'

Hungry's spot becomes more apparent if the brightness is increased by 800%. However, it is to the left of the location in the prior post, if I am identifying it correctly.
Hungry's is a left-eye image and the other is right-eye, so one would expect the shift to be in the opposite direction if it were the same spot. The two spots must be different, but they could be polar opposites, 180 degrees apart. {EDIT: If I try some other enhancements, I can see a different spot to the right, which could be a right-eye/left-eye shift of the original spot.] |

The same mark is on Spirit, so the "ding" is not a random thing, it's manufactured.
Unless someone can come up with a specific explanation then can I suggest that it's either discussed offline or over in Chit-Chat. Sadly, there's maybe a few months ahead of pretty much just sitting here, but let's not wander any further OT. |

CLEANING EVENT!!!!
OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Slight Cleaning of Solar Panels - sols 2873-2879, February 22-28, 2012: Opportunity is positioned on the north end of Cape York on the rim of Endeavour Crater with an approximate 15-degree northerly tilt for favorable solar energy production. While positioned for the winter, Opportunity is conducting regular radio Doppler tracking measurements to support geo-dynamic investigations of the planet, in-situ (contact) science investigations of the rock target, "Amboy," including Microscopic Imager mosaics and long Mössbauer spectrometer integrations, and continued collection of Panoramic Camera (Pancam) images. Radio Doppler tracking passes were performed on Sols 2873, 2875, 2877 and 2878 (Feb. 22, 24, 26 and 27). Microscopic Imager mosaics were performed on Sols 2873, 2874 and 2879 (Feb. 22, 23 and 28). The Mössbauer spectrometer was placed down again on Amboy for further integration time after each Microscopic Imager mosaic. Additional 13-filter Pancam images of foreground targets were taken. In the last few sols, there has been a small amount of solar array cleaning (dust factor improvement). As of Sol 2879 (Feb. 28, 2012), solar array energy production was 305 watt-hours with an atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.520 and a modestly improved solar array dust factor of 0.489. A recent recalibration of atmospheric opacity resulted in a re-baseline of dust factor numbers. Total odometry is unchanged at 21.35 miles (34,361.37 meters). -------------------- |

Here is a recent navcam (Sol 2852). It is just before local sunset. The HGA is deployed and in action.

I'm curious if anyone's keeping track of the Greeley/extended Greeley pancam imagery - are the new images still filling in foreground soil that hasn't been imaged with pancam yet (at least with all filters), or are they duplicates? Do we have all the ground imaged yet?

Fred: I think they're still filling in the last bits around the rover for the Greeley Pan, and at the same time taking some all-filter images of specific spots. Here's just the images labeled Greeley at the moment. I think the all-filter images mostly overlap this. (North is up.)

I had a T-shirt like that in the sixties...
