QUOTE (ElkGroveDan @ Dec 23 2006, 06:26 PM)  Shall we start a pool to see if they will enter on the Near Rim, or Far Rim? Groan....  Ok, I'll make a prediction. Oppy will enter at the near rim, that is the rim nearest to Oppy. It cannot possibly enter at the far rim.

I'll say 1210, and I think they'll do it on the South side of Beacon (near side).

I'll take 1224. And I'm thinking Far Side. (I was on the Near Rim team for the Beacon, so I've decided to switch sides).

I keep thinking entry POOL, and having this wacked out fantasy of a spring filling the crater as the rover starts down the boat-ramp of one of the bays...

I will take sol 1205. Has our official judge of all things competitive made a ruling on what constitutes an entry? I would hate to think that belly up after a cliff dive would be considered a winner.

Opportunity will dip into the crater on sol 1395. That's my guess.

Somebody should photoshop a pic of Oppy wearing water-wings and raising a roostertail wake in the water as it cruises around inside a lake-filled crater.

Hi,
Based on the info on Victoria crater we have so far, what would be the most likely entry (and exit) points for Opportunity? I cannot tell which degree the slopes are at, but Duck Bay seems not so steep (although the composition of the downward terrain itself has to be taken into account as well of course). Any ideas anyone? Michiel |

As the creater of the Beacon Near/Far Side topic of the past. I will say Oppy will spin her wheels on the North Side and investigate the Beacon side for a while then do a 180 and head back to Duck Bay (Aflac) to explore there as it looks to be the most interesting and safe entrance to the inside. I will say about 100 Sols from now or Sol 1,147. Now how many sols will Oppy be inside Victoria before she burns hot metal to get back out?
I will say about 125 sols inside going down as far as possible. |
