Rocks getting more interesting the closer we get...

Here is jvandriel's latest pan in polar form.

Nothing on Exploratorium for the past two days--does anyone know if we have gotten any data from Spirit recently? Hopefully not another computer reset. Maybe she has just gone shopping for a new set of wheels, it's Presidents Day (An American tradition to buy stuff on this holiday, particularly cars).

Sol 1113 is finishing but I don't know if the evening downlink window was already done or not.
Truly the imaging plan for these weekend was very "light" but I would expect in that case some older images to get their way through the downlink pipeline. I really hope there was no other reset; who knows. What I know is that tomorrowsol (1114) looks to be driving sol i.e. move towards Home Plate. We will see. |

Now that I think I've just about managed to get half-decent colours with my software, in advance of Spirit's triumphant, wounded-wheel dragging return to Homeplate, I've been going back over old images of the feature and seeing what I could do... looking forward to views like this again...

I think the weekend observations were mostly with mini-TES, but usually there's some other data from the navcam during these sessions. If a drive is planned, then that must be a good sign all is well... I hope. Today is a holiday in the USA? Nobody told me!

Nothing new, yet. Sol 1114 images should hit the exploratorium NET 20:30UTC.

Yup, Exploratorium's downlinked a new batch this morning. Looks like some nice variety of rocks on Mitcheltree:I wonder if the top-center rock is a meteorite or the very-vesiculated scoria we've seen? Bottom left is an eroded chunk in the suspicious shape of a coral head, but I suppose is related to the sulfate+ash rocks around here? http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/pa...NUP2456L7M1.JPG And perhaps they are more interested in what appears to be a welded tuff: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/pa...NUP2560L5M1.JPG |

Let's see if we may have at least two more driving days before the weekend so Spirit could be at Home Plate's east face soon. Given the current downlink times I'm afraid Spirit is on restricted sols.
Here is the rover current location (approximate) as seen from a navcam mosaic taken on sol 1103.

Still
But I know, Spirit was in rather a rush...
