QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Oct 2 2008, 08:55 AM)  From september's issue of the monthly MER Update at TPS: “Our goal is to drive right past Cape Pelar (sic) to the north end of Cape Victory – Magellan would have called it Cabo Victoria -- and then imaging Cape Pelar (sic) which is the next promontory,” Squyres said. “That’s our objective for the next few sols. Then we’re going to the next promontory to the south and image across of the southern side of Cape Victory. And then, we’re going to hit the gas.” This is how I understand it... If I read SS's statement correctly then there are no plans to image the high cliffs between Cape St Mary and Cape Vincent using the PanCam at either of the two promontorys where Oppy will be parked over the next few SOLs. In an ideal world I would like a few more columns would be added to the the right hand side of the planned image of Cape Victory. This enlarged image would include a clear view of the cliffs between Cape St Mary and Cape Vincent. My scientific justification for producing a slightly larger PanCam panorama is that a lot of effort has already been expended in photographing the cliffs between Cape St Mary and Cape Vincent. However there are a few sections of cliff face that could not be imaged from above. These missing sections of cliff can only be imaged from Oppy's current location. There is of course another reason for imaging these cliffs. The reason is that this enlarged PanCam could be one of the prettiest views of the entire mission. |

Very close to your understanding on post#2354, may be a little bit more "agressive" (closer to the rim).

Excellent draw weight. Didn't even need to be (clean) swept.

The latest JPL map gives us a name for the last cape, 'Agulhas'

Very fitting. Cape Agulhas (not the Cape of Good Hope) is the southernmost tip of Africa. Beyond that there is only the Southern Ocean...

To be double-checked once the navcam images are available. |
