Journey to Mt Sharp - Part 2: Darwin to Cooperstown, Sol 402 [Sep23,'13] to Sol452 [Nov14,'13] NB: Warm Reset Options

[Phil Stooke]

We're leaving Waypoint 1 so a new topic may be useful.

This is a circular view of where we are now, sol 402.

Based on the latest NAVCAM thumbnails, looks like a long drive happened on sol 403, maybe 4 hours duration--didn't make the cut for the 403 sunset SPICE update though, so no data yet.

This is a start on a circular pan from 403, current navcams only.

So if it was indeed a 4 hour drive, assuming no stops /minimal turns the maximum distance she could have traveled would be 576m.

Extrapolated as 4cm per second x 4 hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 x 4cm / 100 = 576m

Doubtful it would be that long but still quite the trek

70 m as the crow flies, according to Phil.

The rover DOES stop and turn. Autonav and Visidom mean the maximum distance per hour is typically 40m.

The recent drive was close to 4 hours but only a modest 70 meters--so a different kind of stop-and-go pattern I guess.

Sol 404 : Another drive, the Hazcam time-stamps indicate a duration of around 143 minutes, with the available thumbnail images indicating we are continuing in a general South West direction.

Indeed, 64 meters southwest.

This is the sol 404 location in circular form.

that's impressive detail for a kilometer away if ive pinpointed it correctly in Joes mapper.. as the little ridge at top left corresponds to the little crater bay at the edge of the black sea?

Sol 402 thru 404 Navcam 270's...

I prefer to hold out for 360's (full 12 frame sets) before rendering, but when the trend is toward "9 frames down - then move on" as of lately, I'll just get the 270's up without further ado, as below:
