QUOTE (odave @ Mar 24 2006, 02:52 PM) That brings to mind a question for the next Q&A - how often has autonav been used, percentage wise, and how well do they feel the autonav system has performed so far? Well - go and put it in the right place and I'll ask next time around  Doug |

You're asking Opportunity to be 'let loose'
Slippage detection involves stopping every X metres, commanding a short drive, verifying progress with Visidom and then continuing the drive. Autonav and Blind Driving just don't cut it in this sort of terrain any more. Doug |

With the pace from SOL 760 to 767 Oppy will get to Victoria in roughly 84 sols
Fingers crossed

Hmm. I just took a close look (finally) at the edge of Victoria's ejecta blanket, and it almost looks as if there are some pretty steep slopes on its perimeter, at least on the north side in Tesheiner's excellent mosaic. Anybody know if these slopes have been assessed yet, and whether a tentative ingress plan for the ejecta apron has been developed? -------------------- 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.

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Mar 26 2006, 08:06 AM) Agreed, she will be there by sol 960, with 58 sols of Victoria Crater science and exploration behind her.  http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...indpost&p=46413 -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Route map (new look), updated to sol 767. Now Oppy is definitely outside her landing ellipse. Did I miss the party? Hopefully we'll see this mentioned in the next MER report. |

I couldn't find any recent figures, but I'm fairly sure Oppy has taken back the distance lead. Anyone know which Sol it happened on?
