Hi,
I'm curious to know, what does anyone here think? I sure would like to another mission to that region, within range of the P&S mission. Sojourner's last step was to be sent to fifty meters from the craft to analyis the rocks. So a hypothetical mission would look like one of the MER's or perhaps it may even be bigger to continue where the PS mission wasn't able to. Obviously another Sojourner rover isn't practical for the terrain in that region, there wouldn't be anything wrong with another repeat of that mission, but as it is obvious missions are always innovative with testing technology. |
