I've been looking at the new entries at the PDS for WHR quotes, to compile as good a list of actual quoted Whr values as I can......so if you find one, add it to this thread and I'll update this post with figures....any source as long as it's an actual figure and an actual sol.

It would appear that I was quite significantly off in my estimate of Spirit's power levels prior to this. I think you are right about my dust deposition model but I really will have to rebuild the charts correctly to see if that can explain it all. I suspect that the atmosphere\insolation model I'm using (based on a pre pathfinder paper by Geoffry Landis and Joseph Applebaum) is also slightly inaccurate or (much more likely) I've made some errors in it's implementation. Time to re do rework and recheck it with all of the newer data to see what comes out. The good news though is that the baseline before cleaning was much higher than I expected so she has a lot more life left than i had feared. |
