This mosaic uses Sol 1005 imagery after the Sol 1004 drive with a large version link. Thanks to Paul for image and camera navigation info and Kevin Gill for the raw image utilities that all help prep the images for my processing.




Below has a synthetic sky added with an empirical fit of solar elevation and azimuth angles to the imagery. The bright zone near the top is around the zenith where the dust scattering is bright enough to saturate the image given the linear displayed brightness scaling.

The mosaic below uses Sol 1006 imagery with a large version link. Thanks to Paul for image and camera navigation info and Kevin Gill for the raw image utilities that all help prep the images for my processing. The lighting is uneven with a combination of noontime and afternoon images. Sorry about that Phil!

Hello Scalbers, tau and Neville Thompson

Congratulations on your work.



I plan to soon start volume 2 of the book << Les Panoramiques Martiens >> and I would like to know if you will give me permission to use some of your images posted here.

=================================================================

Salut scalbers, tau et neville thompson

Félicitation pour votre travail.



J'ai le projet d'entamer prochainement le tome 2 du livre << Les Panoramiques Martiens >> et j'aimerais savoir si vous me donner la permission d'utiliser certaines de vos images déposées ici.

[neville thompson]

Yes Glevesque you can use my images as long as you credit me --

[tau]

I plan to soon start volume 2 of the book << Les Panoramiques Martiens >> and I would like to know if you will give me permission to use some of your images posted here.

Yes, Glevesque, you can use my images.
Please use the credits that are indicated on the images.
If you can't find one or if it is not readable, ask me by e-mail with a link to the image in question.

By the way - will there be an English version of "The Martian panoramas"?

[tau]

Great view tau of Neretva Vallis and environs in the distance. I wonder what the light colored rocks / deposits are south of the Vallis? The notional routes appear to take us over some of them.

If these potential routes are still valid, the rover will not drive upstream in the Neretva vallis.
A short "toe-dip" into the vallis is possible, then the route goes south and uphill as drawn in the images below (roughly estimated).
The access to Neretva vallis and the continuation of the route in the hills are not visible from the rover's sol 1010 position.

[Glevesque]

Yes, it’s part of the upcoming projects. But if someone wants to start translating the text, I have all the maps and background images to transparently redo the montages of the book with the translated texts. I had thought about using Google translate, but I think that the conciseness (and quality?) of the text will not be there!

It must be said that the paper format of the books will be at the price of return (perhaps with the assistance of Amazon in self-publishing at the end of Curiosity's mission for volume 1). PDFs will always be free.

Follow the link of my signature for more details or to download the pdf document of the book.

=============================================================================

Oui ça fait partie des projets à venir. Mais si quelqu'un veut se lancer pour traduire le texte, j'ai toutes les cartes et les images d'arrière plan pour refaire en transparance les montages du livre avec les textes traduit. J'avais pensé à utiliser google traduction, mais je crois que la fuiditée (et qualité ?) du texte ne sera pas au rendevez-vous !

Il faut dire que le format papier des livres seront au prix de reviens (peut-être avec l'assistance d'amazone en auto-édition à la fin de la mission de Curiosity pour le tome 1). Les pdf seront toujours gratuits.

Suivre le lien de ma signature pour plus de détail ou pour télécharger le document pdf du livre.

[scalbers]

True - it seems to me upon correlating with orbital views that similar looking deposits may also exist near the notional routes south of Neretva Vallis.

If these potential routes are still valid, the rover will not drive upstream in the Neretva vallis.
A short "toe-dip" into the vallis is possible, then the route goes south and uphill as drawn in the images below (roughly estimated).

Phil

[scalbers]

Looks good Phil - is north up in this as usual or perhaps elsewhere?

Steve's panorama for sol 1022 in circular form.

[Phil Stooke]

It is at the top - if it's not it must be pretty close. I compared the foreground with the HiRISE image. If I slipped up let me know.

Phil

[scalbers]

My impression is that Sol 1007 is correct and Sol 1022 has the big hills in the distance rotated by about 180 degrees.

We can note that the mosaics I'm posting utilize the camera and rover pointing information and have due north in the center. The vertical direction spans elevation angles from the nadir to the zenith (-90 to +90 degrees).

[Phil Stooke]

You are absolutely right. I create the views south-up and forgot to rotate the 1022 view by 180 degrees before posting. It was the 1007 view I had compared with the HiRISE image.

Sorry about that but thanks for correcting me.

Here are the correct versions for sol 1022.

This valley appears to tend to be U-shaped. Could this be due to subsequent aeolian erosion or... ??

[serpens]

This valley appears to tend to be U-shaped. Could this be due to subsequent appliances erosion or... ??

I doubt any glacial influence Bill if that is the possibility you imply. To the west Neretva Vallis is a typical high potential energy river valley, deep incision with steep sides. But in the lower reaches the river seems to have widened, spreading its energy. Change in lithology perhaps? The erosional environment at the crater would have been variable and complex. Initial penetration would probably have been groundwater tunnelling and the river would have banked up and spread. There is clear evidence of occasional high energy deposition at the delta and variations in water level with maximum prior to the eastern outflow. This, combined with the susceptibility of Jezero's ejecta blanket to erosion may be the explanation for the channel configuration.

[Bill Harris]

I was suggesting a Glacial hmmmm?? . But not strenuously. I tend to pigeon-hole V-shsped and U-shaped valleys as a matter of habit.
That next sentence should have read "subsequent aeolian erosion" ; the 'appliance...' was an autocorrect funny.
Onward!
