Presumably we will see a HIRISE image of the Pathfinder site at some point, so I am posting a polar view of the site here for comparison. I started with the Presidential Panorama. There was a slight mis-match between the ends of the pan - as if it had been slightly cropped for posting - which I can't fix, but it doesn't do too much damage to the polar view.

Yes, except that I prefer this slight adjustment, which I think gives a better match to the North Knob and other features.

Sometime in the past few years, the locations for VL-1 and MPF on Malin's website changed. I wonder why? I have a somewhat different location. When I've finalized my updated map, I'll crop a chunk and post it here. That ain't MPF, and MOC didn't resolve Yogi, is my prediction. It may have gotten the lander, though... ...now I'm looking for the backshell and heatshield, which ought to be the same size as for MER. I'm betting we'll see Sojourner, too. -Tim. |

What do you mean, Tim? The annotated images themselves changed, or just their location on the web server? Their "best estimate" of the location of the lander changed. If you go to MSSS.com and get into the captioned releases, look under "landing sites". The release dated January 2000 has the correct location. In the MOC C-PROTO, the lander is visible at that location (detected, but not resolved). So I won't need to post mine here, because it's the same. -Tim. |
