I'm in the dark just as you are. The radio-frequency light has arrived: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/fo...AFP1206L0M1.JPG |

Spirit, where you are going?
Whether Spirit wants to climb again on the Home Plate ? Here it is probably possible. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).

...you ain't kidding! That has "high-centered" written all over it.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

She's looking at the ground with the MI now. And the previous Pancam of the churned up wheel track was labelled "Thunderbolt". A new discovery by the Persistent Trenching Tool, perhaps? Just speculating.

From Emily's blog:
QUOTE I've been told by someone on the science team that they only have until October to do science around Home Plate before they'll have to park again on a good north-facing slope from which to wait out the next winter. That doesn't surprize me with power levels as low as they are now. I would think that should give enough time to drive to Goddard/von Braun, if the drive goes relatively smoothly. Of course a nice strong gust of wind would always be welcome... |
