I love that jump in Oppy's power! There's nothing like seeing it in graphical form. Thanks Dilo.

We'll have confirmation in next week update but we already can say that total odometry Spirit + Oppy reached 30km last night. smile.gif and still wheel.gif

Hello again!

Usually we are looking for the cool new maps of Tesheiner to follow the journey of the rovers.
But the journey is also a journey through the time. Attached you find the journey through the times since 2003. I made also made a version for the german Wikipedia. Maybe someone find it interesting when we reached which scientific target. If you see some errors in it, please inform me about it.

Best regards,
MoreInput

Neat! One suggestion & a question:

1. "Last message from Spirit" might be better phrased as "Communications hiatus". I'm sure that we haven't heard the last from her yet. wink.gif

2. Are the winter periods true calendar-derived Martian winters, or just the periods of reduced MER activity due to the season? They seem kind of short to me on the graphic.

Anyhow, very cool- thanks!

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.

Hi Nprev!

1. I changed the "Last message from Spirit". We just hope the best.

2. I just took the winter solstice and marked a 3 (earth) month interval. More in the way that that was a time of reduced activity. But the activity is also much influenced through the dust on the solar panels. So I just changed that in the new time line. Interesting: Spirit and Opportunity just landed at the end of summer on mars. I didn't realized that yet.


2. Are the winter periods true calendar-derived Martian winters, or just the periods of reduced MER activity due to the season? They seem kind of short to me on the graphic.

I also changed the date of depature from Victoria to the 17th October (Sol 1683)

This is a really cool way of looking at the mission timeline, MoreInput.

It might have been late summer, but it still left plenty of time for the 90-sol missions to run. laugh.gif

I have a great love of different ways of seeing data, and have to thank you for this method.

I like it very much too. Thanks
It's seams incredible to "see" how short the primary mission was.

I'd suggest "Launch" instead of "Start." It's obvious in context, but when I first looked at the timeline I had a brief moment of confusion.

LOVE that, great for a quick-look reminder of major mission milestones.

Assuming Oppy started the traverse from Victoria to Endeavour at an odometry of 12678m (which I believe is right), she is now short of only 30m for having roved 10 kms since she left. wheel.gif

Thanks Dilo.

Anyone else spend a few seconds on the upper-right graph, psychically urging Spirit's power levels to chase Opportunity's glorious upwards track? rolleyes.gif
