I am trying to quantify Spirit's final resting orientation, but I would generally like to learn how to determine the orientation of either rover for any particular sol. I'm sure this data is in the MMB files somewhere, but I haven't been able to identify it. Likewise, I am sure it is somewhere in the Analyst's Notebook database and/or the Pancam data tracking database, but again, I can't find it.
Spirit's final orientation is the main thing I am looking for, but any orientation assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -------------------- ...Tom

James, all I can think is that the heading figure may be expressed in relative terms; maybe -50 deg off of the rover's longitudinal axis at platform alignment? Again, it's extremely important to understand the reference axes & error correction set to interpret this data.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
