Cool graphs Doug.
I went through the OM data (analyst helps a lot; you can't get lost in the data) and got to make this nice one form sol 19 I think thats a sample from Mama bear if not mistaken; those must be magnetite rich grains collected at the magnets. -------------------- |

I'm slowly starting to get a handle on the calibrated color for Phoenix from the PDS. The science RDR versions of the RAD images look fantastic!
I've got a gallery up with my progress so far: Phoenix Calibrated Color It currently has the SSI right-eye color images for the following filter combos (in order of preference): 1ABC2, 1ABC, ABC, 1BC, 1B2 and 8B2. The end of the filenames list the filters used. The three- and four-filter sets use color formulas fit to the expected output color based on a five-filter training set. Each frame is coregistered to correct for the shift that sometimes occurred between filters. There is not any scene-based chromatic adaptation being used, so the hues are "as they are". The brightness is held constant throughout all the images. Now for the caveats! I haven't yet put in pan sharpening to make good use of the mixed high-res low-res images, so the bulk of the panorama frames are a bit fuzzy at full zoom. Also, a few of the images have some visible artifacts from saturation (sol 16, and parts of the deck on sol 21 and 30). As an example image, here's a look at Dodo-Goldilocks on sol 18: |

Excellent work Slinted.
Very consistent and it highlights some interesting sol by sol variations of contrast. The images also remind me of Mars Pathfinder (the filter set is close i think). Perhaps any chance of having a calibrated MPF gallery on your site ? -------------------- _______________________

In anticipation of the next PDS release, I'll share some images that are available but have been unadvertised. They are calibrated SSI color images, processed to reflectance (ie, corrected to the illumination present) and then to approximate true color. The processing was done for any image set that supported it, using semi-intelligent interpolation for data with few filters. So, left eye color is available to go with really good right eye color for Happily Ever After images (id: 165C) for cross-eye stereo types (although the directories were not organized for such types). As a bonus, wherever compression levels allowed, deconvolution was performed on the input images to the color processing. And, again when conditions allowed, missing packets were interpolated over (but frequently they still show up as an off-color band).
The images are at : http://www.met.tamu.edu/mars/color.html Most or all of these images will also be available through analyst's notebook when the release is out. Mark |

Wow... thanks Mark, those "conoisseur" images are absolutely gorgeous...!

I miss Phoenix also Stu.
Even know it wasn't a rover. It was an amazing lander to us Mars Fans A Question. When did Mars winter for Phoenix end and I know the odds of Phoenix coming back to life is unlikely. If it did come back to life. When would it have and has JPL made any attempt to communicate with Phoenix??? I think a part of all of us would love to see this happen but deep down we know it won't. At least my name is on The DVD on Phoenix so I know a part of me even in Binary Code will be part of The Rover. Bobby (The Quiet Mars Fan) |

It's just approaching the middle of winter for Phoenix right now. If the worst case projections were correct she's sitting encased in CO2 at the moment which is quite a surreal thought. At a guess _if_ she survived then it would be worth starting to listen for signs of resurrection towards the end of this [earth] year\ early 2010.

I haven't been able to find the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) images in this release. Can someone provide a pointer? Are the AFM images not going to be put into the PDS at all, or are they just not out yet?

They're in there - use the analyst's notebook to find them. They're not in an easily consumable format, however.

The AFM archive in the PDS is not yet complete. The EDRs are there, but the RDRs have not been deposited yet. The last announcement said the RDRs would be delivered later, at approximately June 1, but it is now June 8, and still no sign of them. Why the holdup for the RDRs?
