MSL Route Map Options

Sol 2365 - there were drives on both 2364 and 2365, the latter possibly cut short as it was only 2 m and 15 m was suggested in the status report.

the latter possibly cut short as it was only 2 m and 15 m was suggested in the status report.

Cunning trick for you. If you see a front hazcam from a given sol with the seqID fhaz00190 - then the drive aborted early as that's the off-nominal front hazcam image ( same with rhaz00190 on the rear hazcams ).

The post drive imaging will usually still execute, so you'll see fhaz00302 and rhaz00311 (the regular end of drive hazcams) but the *haz00190s are both in the best priority bin of any imaging, so will come down before anything else. If you see other post drive imaging and no 190's - then it usually means a drive completed normally.


FWIW - I think the 2365 drive was supposed to be a short bump of 2m or so - I think it ran fine ( I see no fhaz00190 )

We put up a smokey-bear type sign next to the RPs workstations.... ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FHAZ00190

We had a small drive and a new drill so it's time to update the map again. I'm catching up after working on the Moon for a while.

A quick version of the sol 2407 map. It will be edited later.

Update to sol 2408, including the latest target names from Phil.
The next update will be in June, as I'll be off for a couple of weeks.
Fruitful exploration Curiosity!

Too many names! I deal with this by making a special large scale map for the busy area. For now, on sol 2412 we moved further along the base of the ridge, still close to the fringing drifts. The drive was about 50 m.

After looking at a few places near Hallaig, we have moved back to the sol 2361 area on sol 2416.

Sol 2420, another drive to get back to the next drill site. The recent path has been corrected here compared with the last map by using the new JPL maps.

A map update for sol 2429, showing the new drive out into the plains.

Update to sol 2429. Curiosity moved about 50m in an easterly direction.

Here is a map up to the new drive on sol 2432, with a few corrections to recent locations. I missed the sol 2422 drive last time. I will add some names in the next update.

Hello Phil

Phil, A suggestion is that every map has an indication of the ubication of the Gale mountain as a reference. That is when I read the route map, I have no idea where is the north and neither the Gale mountain position.

Hello Phil

A suggestion, it would be ideal that the route map has an indication of the ubication of the Gale mountain
as a reference. the reason is when I read the route map, I have no idea where is the north and neither
of the Gale mountain position.
