This is a little pan I put together from the last "end-of-day" image Pathfinder returned of Sojourner on Sol 80. Sol 81 would be the last day for which Sojourner would return images. Sol 76 saw the last data return form the forward looking cameras. The color data was stolen from other sols. Sol 83 would be the last day any data would be returned, and Sol 92 would be the last day any contact would be made. The remaining images on Sols 81-83 were of the windsocks.

Here is a mosaic of the last views from Sojourner, from the rear hazcam, sol 81.

I found an interesting, but quite impossible, project on course:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057032501 Image: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/attachment....mp;d=1413833939 I downloaded the sketchup model, but it's actually so irregular and with so many holes that it looks quite impossible to fix it... Is anybody aware of any other 3d model existing of Pathfinder landing site? Or any other Mars landing site? It would be really amazing to have printed copies of various Mars landing sites on my shelf! :-) |

Since those 3D models are made from views from the lander itself, they'll always have unfillable holes where rocks were hiding features behind them. (Except maybe for Phoenix, which was insanely flat; I imagine the same thing will be true of InSight.) So the only way to make nice 3D printable views is to artistically fill in those gaps. I've never done any 3D printing or modeling work so I have no idea how hard that would be to do!

This is data I've looked at myself - ( from here - http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/mpf/mpfl-...im_2xxx/extras/ ) - and making a nice coherent mesh without holes is a huge HUGE creative task.
It'll be a brave person to take it on |

I'd certainly like to have a look at the model, Sittingduck ( specifically with a view to 3d printing )

djellison and jgoldader, the model is definitely not ready for print as it stands.
I have a period of examinations which will end Nov 7, after which I can prepare the model for printing. I can also immediately supply a version as-is if you want to take a shot at preparing it yourself (dropbox link attached). |

Ŧhere's plenty of 3d models of lander and rover around now, but none of them looks printable... even the ones defined "printable" on thingiverse!
I started working on printable MER months ago but then I abandoned the project, too long time required...Eventually having one really 3d printable model available would really cool. I worked on rocker boogie suspensions: I successfully printed a very tiny model 5 cm wide on Shapeways, but it is fixed; I'd like to make a really working mechanism, it would be really cool! |

I have been working on super resolution for a few years now, especially from the worst case... a single image
Here is the Mars Path Finder from HiRise as a GIF The original is 3x The super resolution is 3x I re-oriented the image with the west as the top, sunlight is from the top, (to reduce eye/mind confusion) The big rock 'Yogi' is to the right of the lander in this configuration. I think you can see the shadow of the hi-gain antenna and the camera mast in the middle of the super structure of the lander (big white area) as well as the two ramps and an air bag sticking out of the lander in the top right -------------------- CLA CLL

What I find odd in this is that you can not really see any evidence of the +x and -x petals and airbags. ( The rover was deployed from the +y petal, the ASI boom deployed on the +X petal. If you can't see the ASI boom or rover ramps - you're looking at the -X petal.)
