Pan on the wall at Phoenix HQ and on Sky at Night at the same time. Doesn't get much better than that!
 I notice that in the first shot from inside the HQ at the start of the program you can see it on the left on the other side of the room. Gives a bit of context to it's location. James -------------------- |

QUOTE (djellison @ Jul 7 2008, 09:03 PM)  BBC's The Sky at Night did a great job - sent Chris Lintott out to Tuscon for a day or two and had a brilliant half hour program on BBC4 just now. Here's The Sky at Night on iPlayer for anyone who missed it. Needs a British IP address to get around the geolocatory restrictions - I'm in Belgium, but know how to fake it. ;-) |

On their website at least, it's the official NASA version, not mine.

Just chatted with Mark Lemmon -- he said that as of this morning he's declaring the Mission Success Pan to be complete (in terms of data acquisition). He said there's one or two things he'd like to go back and do, like get the part of Mars above MECA that was blocked by the arm, and maybe do some imaging with the arm in a position in the work volume like it was about to do some work, but the data bits are down for a full pan.

Are there plans to cover the area hidden behind the meteorology mast? Maybe with the RAC? :-P
I guess most of the area under the lander could be similarly imaged... -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

Thanks for the info, Emily! Here's hoping I finally get to use that 8X10 frame I bought from Aaron Brothers, pretty soon

Any news on when they will image parts of the scene without any compression ?

Disabling image compression is less of a benefit than full, but compressed frames would be. It would be similar bandwidth-wise, given a 4x compression ratio.

We now have an unobstructed view of the crater rim on the horizon to the west, which had been partly blocked by the arm:
