The sol 3203 panorama kindly provided by Jan, in circular form. A very rough landscape!

I tried taking one of the auto-generated Navcam mosaics - turning it into philovision and then an HDR stretch to even out some of the lighting for the Sol 3204 mosaic - came out pretty well.

For those wondering - rough (but not JPGd) post drive imaging mosaics get posted here - https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/mosaics/ - automagically by a downlink script that generates them after downlink. If you see multiple mosaics for a given sol, that's subsequent downlink passes sending more data to fill in more blanks. That's what I used to make that phil-o-vision from 2 posts ago

Sol 3206 - we had a c. 5 m drive northwest (maybe for an interesting target?) - map update after Grandad duty.

This late in the mission - when budgets for refactoring the website to receive them - pretty unlikely. But I'll try and ask around.

QUOTE (Saturns Moon Titan @ Aug 11 2021, 09:24 PM) [attachment=49090:ped_climb.JPG] And we have almost arrived at the pediment already! The resistant capstone at the top of the cliff in front of us is indeed the Greenheugh pediment I have overlaid the MSAR_10 route (the most recent strategic route) to show roughly where the team probably intends to ascend up onto the pediment. From the looks of the planned traverse, the rover will follow this cliff uphill, squeezing through a narrow passage and then ascending a ramp. However, before all that I expect they'll want to drill nearby to where we are now, to document the chemistry of the rocks directly underneath the pediment. Once we're ontop, the view will be very special. Looks like they plan on sending the rover towards that big ridge that runs down the middle of it - my understanding is that there's debate over whether the Greenheugh pediment represents just aeolian sandstones, basically a lateral continuation of the stimson formation (remember the buttes all those years ago?), alternatively it might be an alluvial fan. It certainly resembles a fan in shape and that big ridge running down the middle could be an inverted channel. This is why the mission geologists want to send the rover there, to check which theory's true!Some Hong Kong University scientists in a recent paper have suggested that all rock layers studied by Cuuriosity so far except for the Bradbury formation seem to be wind swept deposits rather than lacustrine. Any ideas? |
