I went to JPL yesterday to see them put the mobility model for MSL through its paces. It is HUGE!
Lots of pictures and video posted at http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001010/ I have the pictures (but not the video) at twice the resolution if anyone needs them for artistic purposes. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Man, MSL is indeed a big beast... good thing there are no critters on Mars after all, because they'd run like hell in any case as soon as they saw it! Thanks for the sneak peek, Emily!

Man, MSL is indeed a big beast... good thing there are no critters on Mars after all, because they'd run like hell in any case as soon as they saw it! As I noted in another thread, if Marvin were around, he'd develop sudden urinary incontinence syndrome when he sees MSL come rolling over the top of a dune, the camera mast head swinging around, the laser spectrometer firing. Speeded up of course, not at glacial speed. |
