QUOTE (climber @ May 26 2011, 01:52 PM)  or coincidence since the places are so differents? What's coincidental about two near identical rovers with identical cameras and identical communications systems taking the same number of images, on average? |

Yes Doug, this is my thinking too but Oppy did essentialy traverses, longer drives, exploring a very different place as compare to Spirit, kind of different mission even if the vehicules are the same. We'd also have to substract sundial and sun pictures to better compare. It'll be interesting to compare with Curiosity

I thik the subtitle of this topic needs amending, as Spirit is now officially dead.

It wasn't when the thread started. Shall we go back through every single thread title and sub title to reflect the now defunct nature of Spirit?
No. |

Dilo, I think the legend for the bottom graph should read "Oppy daily odometry (left scale); Oppy total odometry (right scale)".

It's not the wind, it's because of the speed Oppy is driving at the moment!

At some point, Oppy will have descended 100m from its landing place in the trek towards Endeavour crater.
From Emily's chart  it looks like that will happen soon!

According to this NASA article, Spirit ascended about (edit) 60 meters from its landing place in its climb up Columbia Hills.
