QUOTE (nprev @ Nov 26 2018, 09:13 PM)  Yes, of course. Not till it's safe to do so, though (gotta let the landing dust settle) and there are other critical events of higher priority, particularly solar panel deployment. looks similar to phoenix landing zone. pretty boring for images but wealthy in science |

Forum note: Later on today or possibly tomorrow after the early critical deployments are carried out this thread will be closed and we'll open a new surface operations thread.
What a ride that was!!!!

During the pre-landing briefings I did not hear anyone say an image might be sent back right after touchdown, did anyone else ?

No, actually it is Sol 0. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

(The PNG file on the raw images site is not complete, the bottom of the image is missing.) Edit: it's fixed now
Complete image at least in Emily's article here (from twitter?) http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakda...has-landed.html Congrats Insight Team! -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

It was mentioned as a possibility in the timeline, but it was entirely dependent on the success of MarCO. By all accounts, they have performed brilliantly. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Working on the assumption that it's never too early to start analyzing images here on UMSF:
The small arrows outline a skid mark on the surface made as that rock was pushed by the thrusters, as also seen twice at the Phoenix site. EDIT: Now I'm not certain that thing on the right is a footpad. There may be some more small rocks over there. EDIT 2: no, looks like I was right first time.

Maybe more localized material from the different thruster configuration and camera placement. That does not surprises me given the different position of the dust cover, mostly the distance to the ground. I would say it is quite similar to the first image we received from the FHAZ from Curiosity which would have a distance and positioning more similar to IS.
