Yes, hidden behind the bright outcrop just below the dark dunes.

Here's a quick circular view of our sol 565 location, looking out over the route to Kimberley.

Sol 565 Navcam panoramic. I was waiting for one frame to be complete… Yes, I'm working exclusively with the left camera ^^

Looks like a short drive towards that dark rock - either for in situ work on the rock, or just for wheel imaging before the next drive.

Panorama taken on sol 565 with MastCam34mm:
 And a version in false colors and contrast stretched, to emphasize color differences between rocks:  I think we can see some part of the striated unit on this panorama. On the left part of the panorama, there are three linear horizontal outcrops. The third one (the farthest) may correspond to the striated unit: if one compares with this map of Phil, this is the striated unit at the center of the map. -------------------- |

QUOTE (mcaplinger @ Mar 11 2014, 06:24 PM)  This discussion should probably be moved over to the images and cameras subforum. Moved to the MSL Images & Cameras, technical discussions of images and cameras thread, starting here. |

Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: LINK to Ken's full report
QUOTE ...Unfortunately, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) suffered an anomaly Sunday that interrupted the relay of data from MSL to Earth. Therefore, the drive planned for Sol 567 was cancelled and targeted ChemCam and Mastcam observations of nearby rocks were planned instead. MSL data are typically also relayed by the Mars Odyssey orbiter, so rover operations can continue while MRO is recovering, but with more limited downlink volume. JPL's report on the status of the MRO LINK EDIT "NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Resumes Full Duty" LINK

A good drive brings us out a bit south of the prominent hill below the last position. Map update tomorrow.

A quick mini-animation from Sol 568 Navcam. The turn shows up nicely. Covering some ground!

Thar she blows! Although we had seen the dark rocks a few valleys back
 Stretched version Thumbnail version of the drive because I have the feeling we'll be waiting a while to fill in all the images. Almost time for a breather. Any bets on how long we stay? |
