Lets hope we get a whole bunch of pictures full size friday... not a compressed file and have them release only one.
but then again, if they only release one picture, the pictures better be clear .. I'd rather have an excellent camera with few public released pictures than full release but a faulty cam.... We'd get a peek at them eventually... May have to buy a MUCH BIGGER monitor and video card to handle the new released pictures.. jb |

Besides a picture of one of the rovers CNN's article on Opportunity's arrival at Victoria states that HiRISE will be looking at that crater and Opportunity very soon. With the first 40 check-out images coming over the next week or so, hmm.... -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

CNN's article on Opportunity's arrival at Victoria states that HiRISE will be looking at that crater and Opportunity very soon. With the first 40 check-out images coming over the next week or so, hmm.... That would be pretty cool. That said, however, and given how much the mainstream media screw up their "facts" when reporting space-related stories, I'd feel a little more confident that this is going to happen if there was official confirmation (e.g., from NASA or the HiRISE team). |

A MRO press conference is scheduled for October 16 at 1pm EST. You can see it on NASA TV or streamed at the JPL web site. Looking forward to great pictures!

check out the blog for the MRO camera... bet it gets overloaded with me hitting refresh.. so don't you guys use the site Thank you jabe. If I understand it correctely, first image is due in ONE hour from now! Please double check « PreparationsWaiting to receive the first image…. »We just took the first image!! We just received the telemetry to confirm that the HiRISE camera took its first picture!!! We all gathered around a screen projecting the telemetry data, and everyone cheered as the numbers came in. We’ll have to wait another ~6 hours or so to actually receive the image… The images go from the spacecraft to the DSN network, then to JPL, then to us.

The first image should show up around 2:30 pm MST (or Pacific daylight time for those who don't like our anti-Daylight time views). So about 2 hours and 42 minutes from the time of this post.
Wow, that blog is almost like being upstairs. -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!

Waiting for the first HiRISE image, I didn't saw this one reported in any other thread.

I'm confused. Are we expecting the images to be posted on the MRO mission site, or where?
