Not intentionally I think smile.gif

Could look like a rover stop due to slippage

Well, it's not that deep, so maybe Oppy just stopped there and the dune is at an angle to the wheels, so the left one didn't make it over the crest. Both of the wheel tracks seem to be about equal in depth - the left one doesn't appear to be buried in the same way that we saw when Spirit "dug in." Not enough churning to be stuck, is my vote. Besides, we still have 4 more wheels in back to power us over, even if that wheel got lodged. biggrin.gif

The exploratorium site has been down for more than a day now. How are you seeing these pictures? your links are not working due to that site being down.

I don't know what was up. They seems to have different paths to their site. Sometimes, one web address doesn't work. The one I had was not working. I got it now.

The confusing thing is. In looking at the latest pics, I feel we still haven't seen Viking or Voyager. Are we moving now? Have we been moving for the past few days?

Greg, we stand or stood directly in front of Viking, but its near rim is higher than its far rim therefore we cannot see it.

Have a look: http://xs22.xs.to/pics/05131/Drei_Krater_an_Sol_414.gif

If you look closely then you can find that the dunes behind Viking are somewhat lower than the dunes in the foreground.

OK, I suppose, I'll take your word for it that those are V & V. But, that was sol 414. Where are now? Are we moving?

This is interesting. Posted today at JPL. It's quite out of date by now, but what peaked my interest is an apparently nice resolution strip of the area EAST of Victoria crater. Is anyone able to find that at MSSS -- is such a thing already published there??

Thanks alan, that seems to be it. The MSSS strip is quite a bit larger too than is visible in the map page.

Is it possible that Oppy has detected its backshell and parachute in the distance? These are from the latest posting of pancam images. The direction is about right, NNW. A dark dot beside a whitish one near the horizon, and they are similar both in L and R images. They sit neatly into the scenery when looked in 3d.

Taking a clue from Pando's sol 413 traverse map URL, I found a zoomed-in version for sol 414 which would seem to clearly verify that Alan pegged Oppy's location in his sol 414 location in the "Welcome to Viking" thread.
