I am trying to quantify Spirit's final resting orientation, but I would generally like to learn how to determine the orientation of either rover for any particular sol. I'm sure this data is in the MMB files somewhere, but I haven't been able to identify it. Likewise, I am sure it is somewhere in the Analyst's Notebook database and/or the Pancam data tracking database, but again, I can't find it.
Spirit's final orientation is the main thing I am looking for, but any orientation assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -------------------- ...Tom

This is turning into quite an interesting topic. I didn't expect to find so many people contributing. That's what I love about this forum. Thanks to all for your contributions.
James: I think you may be on to something. Flipping the last two elements in that calculator seems to result in much more reasonable numbers...and, numbers that are agreeing qualitatively with the orientation of the rover model in MMB for the few locations I have tested. I want to do a little more testing, but this could be a breakthrough. -------------------- ...Tom
