I've been a heavy user of Midnight Mars Browser for several years and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Michael has done.
Now I ask myself, should we create again an alternative way to look and search for images coming from Mars? In the last several months I developed a way to ingest InSight images in order to have a small database and a telegram bot that tells me when a new image is uploaded to the InSight web site and I can try to do the same with the MSL imagery. But, I have several questions: What is the better way to show the data in the web page? Which is the best way to order the images? I'd love to hear some suggestions for that. Greetings. |

I had noted images on the raw image page being assigned the wrong sol - like the upward views of the parachute on sol 0 being labelled sol 2 (the date needs to be when it's taken, not when received, or we will never know where we are). I hope that gets sorted out.
Thanks for doing this, it's a great tool and one which will be very useful. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil Doug E pointed me in the right direction after I replied on Twitter to a post where the sol numbers of EDL cameras were off-kilter. Doug told me that the time-stamp was assigned when the images were transferred from the EDL cameras to the flight computer. Like you I hope it gets sorted out, but it could be a lengthy task. |
