If anyone spots the lander in the pancam 360 they're slowly doing, let me know as I REALLY want to do a new colour pancam shot of that if and when it comes down

Odd really - we go 100 million miles to mars, and the thing I want to see is the 300kg of metal we took with us

They are really sandbagging the raw images now. Often times a (small) press photo will be released and the corresponding raw images are AWOL and remain so.

The Exploratorium is a little better - but still bloody terrible

The JPL webiste still shows Sol 37 pancam images for Opportunity, seem to have really slowed the updates.

I hope they take another big 360 colour pan when Spirit reaches the rim of Bonnevile.

Oh - I'm fairly sure they will. They'll want to spend a few days going "umm, errr, do we wanna drive into that?"

Anyway - a full 22 x 3 frame, 4 filter pancam panorama at 12:1 is only 184 Mbits. Thats one Odyssey pass now they're using 256 kbit/sec
