Thanks a lot Doug.

Yes indeed this is inexcusable if it was really deleted: the MpF website is part of NASA's history, this mission having paved the way for the following Mars missions at JPL, for engineering, science and Internet issues.
This MpF website should have been considered as an US National Landmark just for the history of the Internet alone as the Press stated then: "Mars Landing Signals Defining Moment for Web Use".

But, thanks to IKI, which was then JPL's partner for the Internet mirror site in Russia, the whole MpF site is still viewable at:

Thank you very much Explorer: I saw them coming back early morning and having them back is nice indeed!

==>> And many thanks also to the JPL contributors who feed on a daily basis these two great Mars rover sites, packed with useful info for the media

Thank you Phil.

I'm afraid that there will be no longer two sites for each mission: these new ones include features from the old JPL sites such as the whole "raw images" sections.

==>> However, good news: the maps are back!

With best regards, and thanks again for sharing us so oftenly your nice work

Dear All,
As you may have noticed yesterday, there was a major update on both Curiosity and Perseverance NASA websites which share now the same visual architecture.
==>> However and maybe I'm wrong, but the "Where is Curiosity ?" and "Where is Perseverance ?" online maps have disappeared!
Has anyone found them elsewhere ?
Thank so much for your kind answers: those maps are really good and useful educational tools (and even for the Press).

WOW! Thank you Thomas

Et voilà! Enjoy

I will not dare compare this work to the exellent panoramas that Neville Thompson kindly offer us every day, but here are those made for Sols 1041 and 1045 with their 3D versions.
Those rocky buttes deserve being seen in 3D.
Enjoy

Dear Volcanopele,
Thank you very much for this nice selection of articles that saves us a lot of time!
With best regards,

Thanks Fredk (and also for the links)

Sol 4106: the Curiosity rover took a series of pictures showing the Martian sky.
At the top of all the images it looks like the same stars.
Or maybe that they are bad pixels?
An opinion?

Congratulations Gilles for this good job of yours.
Yes, it’s worth it: but it’s going to be a huge task.
Summarizing a mission Sol by Sol is a tedious work and I have already experienced it many times.
Have courage!

Bravo Gilles pour tout ce que vous faites.
Oui, ça vaut le coup : mais cela va être un gros travail.
Résumer Sol par Sol une mission est fastidieux et je l'ai déjà maintes fois vécu.
Courage !

Happy New Year 2024 to everyone, with a gift from the Perseverance rover :
a view on a shiny remain of the EDL hardware!

Enjoy !

Dear Tom.
What an amazing work!
Congratulations: thanks to you, I'm travelling back in time.
With best regards,

Merci beaucoup Gilles : que de bons souvenirs avec cette mission !
Et merci de nous partager votre passion et votre engagement pour l'exploration de Mars

Thank you very much Gilles: this mission left me with such good memories!
And thank you for sharing your passion and commitment for the exploration of Mars

Congratulations, Neville Thompson, for all those great panoramic pictures of yours

and thank you so much to share this nice work with us!

Thank you very much Neville for this nice mosaic.
The white rocks at center are indeed a fascinating zone to explore and sample

Thank you for your nice explanation.
What hinted for me as being a meteor, is that when you transform the image, the incoming trail becomes more apparent (see here below)

A nice meteor seen Sol 3868!

GRAND BRAVO Gilles

...and also in 3D, the long-range view of Sol 762 with Hartwell crater in the background. Enjoy

The nice central view of Sol 805 pano in 3D. Enjoy
