If she turn left...you'll be right Tesheiner. I follow your guess. Any time I've desagreed with you so far, I was wrong! It looks like she can take a slightly more direct path without having to go so far left (east?). Tesheiner's path looks like an excellent route. Looks like at current rates, it'll take us 30-40 sols to leave the current map box... and then another 30-40 sols to reach Victoria. So bets around 850-880 are looking sweet right now! However, the etched terrain does peter out closer to the crater, so who knows if the driving will be slower there. |

You're still right !
(Little discrepensy due to Oppy's drivers driving too fast to anticipate the turn to the left). -------------------- |

There's been somewhat slow progress due to "restricted sols"...
When will "restricted sols" end ? BTW today is driving sol... CODE Sol Seq.Ver ETH ESF EDN EFF ERP Tot Description

I just have the idea to put on (a partial) Phil's map the location of Oppy at the same distance to Endurance as she is now from Victoria (I assumed 1525m). She is about Vostok on a better terrain... This could also help to determine when she get to VC

Here is a crop of my route map (left) and sol 796 "drive-direction" pancam mosaic (right), including some indications to outcrops which can be seen on both orbital and ground views.
The feature "E" seems to be the small crater located at the beginning of the ejecta blanked (following my proposed path). See "Victoria on the horizon" thread for more. |

What is "E" on your map? Victoria Crater?

As usual, Tesh, you push "the Vision Thing" to a higher plane, and the rest of us have to 'scramble' to follow. I'm trying my best to compare left and right in your image, with only partial success. In the god's-eye map there seems to be a big splotch of white between C and D, but I can't see any of it on the right. What's wrong with my eyes? -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

I can only echo Shaka's comment, over the mission there have been one excellent work on tracking the position of the rovers. But right now im feeling increasingly lost in a sea of sand.

Thanks to Tesheiner and Pando imaging, I am able to ubicate very well the MER-B's surrondings. The route to VC, I am most interested in visiting is the dark and somewhat tall ripples, close to the West of point D (where there is another light color outcrops) at around 110 meters away from Oppy's present position (only visual estimation). Hope that around one week, Oppy will be there.
According to the last news from MER JPL Web is that the engineers will try to move the Oppy in almost everyday. On the contrary to the last week, Oppy has an about 3 soles driving in a week. Rodolfo P.D.Need an updated picture over that zone from MRO. Will it do since it took two HIRSE pictures around southern hemisphere (west of Agyre crater) and the other on the east of Hella Basin and the next time would be on Apollinus , Gusev and Ma'adin zone? I hope MRO's team will promise to give a picture for MER's team. HIRSE pictures on Southern Hemisphere |

Here's a bird's eye view of Tesheiner's landmarks, I hope it helps you getting oriented properly... The Red ball is the rover, and the yellow lines mark the edges of Tesheiner's panorama. Hee hee! From God's eye to a bird's to a rover's and back again. O.K. Maybe I can make it all fit: The splotch of white outcrop between C and D is hidden by the splotch of high, dark ripples between B and D. Right? If not, just give me up as a hopeless case. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!
