Good news about the cleaning event!
Unfortunately the sol 1825 drive attempt seems to have been not very successful: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/fo...V1P1212L0M1.JPG |

So near, and yet so far. That's got to be disappointing. If the Silica Valley route is too much of an unknown, maybe back to the previous 5-wheel ascent point on sol 1306?

"Boy you done look likes you gots yourself stuck into some Sugar Sand."
This is the part where we need a few rednecks to come up the beach and help push Spirit out of the sand (they live for those moments, BTW) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

Very little progress with the last drive - more churning - but the FL wheels seems to be back up on the surface. Rear Left did a LOT of churning. Not sure which way we'll go - but if Scott is right .. http://twitter.com/marsroverdriver/status/1236828620 .. we might be making a different route.

Hi all,
New posting here but have been following along for a couple of months. Wish I'd found this years ago. Wondering if anyone noticed the DD in images http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/na...OLP1560L0M1.JPG http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/na...OLP1560L0M1.JPG the DD in the second one looks to me to reach all the way to top of frame. (lens artifact?). Anyone else see that? I tried some image processing but the esf resolution isn't enough to get much out of it (to my skills anyways) my little homegrown image name converter tells me these are from sol 1820-21. They're from http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/navcam/2009-02-22/ . Not sure my sol converter algorithm is working correctly although it seems "close". 2N288117234ESFAZOLP1560L0M1.JPG Craft : Spirit Camera: NAVCAM Sol: 1820 ImgType: ESF Site Location: AZ Drive Number: OL Command Seq: P156 Camera Eye: L Camera Filter: 0 2N288206698ESFAZOLP1560L0M1.JPG Craft : Spirit Camera: NAVCAM Sol: 1821 ImgType: ESF Site Location: AZ Drive Number: OL Command Seq: P156 Camera Eye: L Camera Filter: 0 |

Welcome to UMSF, Jay!
What algorithm do you use for your name decoder? I'm getting two sols later for both images. Probably the best decoder out there is at http://www.greuti.ch/oppy/html/filenames_ltst.htm You can read lot's of details in this thread. |

QUOTE (JayB @ Feb 24 2009, 06:18 AM)  Hi all, New posting....... Always nice to get a welcome --------so welcome, from another relative new comer!! I don't get much time to go the original pics and so find D Muller's time clocks very handy for keeping up to date with where Spirit and Oppy are http://www.dmuller.net/realtime/mars.php. According to his clock Spirit is currently at Sol: 1829 Local time: 01:34:42 I noticed that FredK posted a comment at the top of this page about Sol1825 looking like an unsuccessful drive. Keep posting!! Hugh |

QUOTE (fredk @ Feb 23 2009, 02:12 PM) What algorithm do you use for your name decoder? a wrong one apparently  my first attempt was rounding down, giving me 1820, newest is doing a logical round so I'm now getting 1821 I used utc of 01/20/2004 13:56 (landing) converted to seconds, utc of 01/01/2000 11:58 (mission clock start) did a date diff in seconds between (flight time) subtracted flight time from image seconds and divided by 88775 I just read that the mer missions started with sol 1 and not sol 0 so if I add 1 sol I get 1822 so it works

We should know in a few hours but I believe we are leaving the area. The hint is that the navcam mosaic included at the end of today's drive is pointed at 0 degrees and that's almost opposite to HP. |

Hopefully we will be able to turn around and drive away from this mess.

If we can trust the IMU data, Spirit moved 5+ meters towards the west.
Now, looking forward the pictures to confirm/adjust this value.

I kind of wanted to see the west route anyway. Still, this is sobering, isn't it.

I get the feeling that New Horizons is going to arrive at Pluto before Spirit arrives at Von Braun.
-------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
