And now we have run off. Update to sol 976... I moved the name Mt. Shields up onto the ridge to match the latest map from Fred Calef at JPL. As usual, the position should be pretty good, but the route is only a guess so far.

Update to Sol 978. Added a few names and the 11km mark to the [hidden] milestones from curiosityrover.com

Here's an update - correcting the drive on sol 976 and adding some names. Oh - and moving West Ridge to the place i now think it should be.

Update to sol 981 to show a 16 m drive through Jocko Chute.

Sol 983 - now we are through the chute and facing the rocky outcrops a bit to the west of the target area.

A short drive on sol 984, getting around the bad bit of drift.

Hope this is the correct channel but has it been determined at what elevation is yellow knife bay compared to the current rover position in relation to the washboard and Murray formation units?

What happen to Joe's map. It still includes a bogus leg and is now hundreds of meters off?

QUOTE (Julius @ May 14 2015, 04:21 PM)  ... at what elevation is yellow knife bay compared to the current rover position ... I think I can answer that bit. Using the Google Earth (Mars) elevation profile on the path I regularly put out, I find a difference of -1m to -2m between Yellowknife Bay and the Sol 0984 location. Fernando |

It seems like Joe's log would indicate (despite its present horizontal offset) around a 90m climb since Yellowknife to the current position, so I wonder if there is a discrepancy somewhere?

QUOTE (nogal @ May 16 2015, 05:43 AM) Update to Sol 984. Many thanks to Fernando for the updated kmz file  However, I think we should use caution when using the Google Earth (Mars) elevation data. In my experience it is somewhat inaccurate when compared with the contour maps published here from time to time by Joe and then overlaid by Phil. I find these very useful.I also look forward to seeing more contour maps that address the path in front of the rover like this recent one from JPL (Fred) LINK which gives us 2 meter contour lines, based on the HiRISE DEM tied to MOLA. |
