These two Sol 406 ChemCam images (flatfield corrected) provide both before-after and stereo views.

Very nice!
And now a great new map from Fred Calef (I assume) at JPL, with lots of new names on it: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/images/MSL_Tr...ol0406-full.jpg Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Great map. Is there a map that shows the path to-date but also includes the anticipated destination? It would be nice to be able to put into context where we striving to get to next. I know this wouldn't be exact and that the path is fluid but surely we have a rough idea where we are trying to get to?
Thanks. |

Phil Thanks Phil. ...and "bye-bye" for good to MSL's backshell and parachute imaging. A real missed opportunity for good outreach pics and for our Mars exploration pic log (  also as a French taxpayer to this mission)

Viking: we had 360 navcam pans all through the potential hardware viewing zone, and if we had a clear line of sight to the parachute I'm sure it would've been obvious in navcam. So that suggests it would've meant driving some distance off our route to see the hardware. Of course you could still argue that that should've been done, but that's another argument...

QUOTE (vikingmars @ Sep 28 2013, 06:40 AM) A real missed opportunity... It would have taken weeks to get to a location worthwhile for imaging that hardware. Weeks. Split the cost of the mission into Sols. Do the math. The lost opportunity would not be getting to Mt Sharp before the end of the prime mission. |

Also the hardware may still be able to be seen at a distance from the flanks of Mount Sharp as we drive up.

Long spell now without new images--three sols. Any particular reason? The USGS blog doesn't have a recent entry.

I would speculate a combination of weekend and a possible tweak to the flight software to negate some of the issues that prematurely terminated the sol 404 drive? Almost certainly not time for a full fix, but maybe a relaxation of the 'conservative settings' that were in force? Just a thought |

And, lo, 652 images from the last three sols were just released, including maybe a 3.5-hour drive on sol 409.

And maybe 60 or 70 m due south (or even slightly east of south). Here's a very rough partial pan in circular form.
