I'm getting dizzy! Hope we don't fall in...

Very nice pic, Stu.

Three years ago today (if I've read the dates right), on sol 1661, Oppy paused in her trek around the edge of Victoria Crater, stopping just in front of a small crater called "Sputnik", and we all marvelled at the incredible vista before her: the great crater's capes and bays stretched away on all sides, its crumbling cliffs and dust-rippled floor all fighting for our attention. Oppy sent back three pictures of "Sputnik" which, when joined together, looked like this...On the far horizon were a few barely-there bumps - the hills marking the rim of a huge crater called "Endeavour", an enormous hole in the ground that was so far away that even thinking of trying to drive to it was foolish; such a journey would take years, years, and require the rover - which had already exceded all expectations - to cross a vast area of unforgiving desert. Oppy wouldn't get even halfway, surely...Three years later...


Love that VE'd pic!

Good thing you're keeping up on the blogging. Things have been crazier than hell at JPL.

I've got a few posts in the queue! I promise!

Mossbauer is down on the re-brushed Salisbruy-1 target and integrating away as we speak...*

Yay!

We plan to sit here for at least the remainder of the week, with MB measurements in the planning loop to determine when we like what we see. Some more magic from the team will be streaming out in the next 2 weeks as we hit the Nominal (planning 5 days/week) planning cycle!

Have you got confirmation of this Matt? 2728 looks like another runout from the tracking data.

Wonderful post-brush MIs from Sol-2728-- they provide more tantalizing insights into character and properties of the rock and cuttings at Salisbury.

Haha... I spoke too soon. There was a hiccup at the DSN literally 10 minutes after I posted! 2728 never made it up.

Heh, so the best laid plans of RATs and MERs...


Worked up an IDD location montage for Salisbury this morning. Interesting to see from the Pancams what Oppy's been grinding upon.
