Astro0, does the colour difference in another 2 kms or so, on the scheduled path, shows when we'll be going downhill?


That colour change is on the pdf version - I guess it indicates the transition from 'planned' route to 'hypothetical' route.

As it is so flat around here and the contours are far apart it is hard to tell, but anywhere between Conception and 500m past it, should be the start of the downhill run to Endeavour (and HOAV time). smile.gif

Mini-Endurance by Christmas I'd say. wheel.gif wheel.gif wheel.gif

FWIW, I've added the planned route as another layer on the GE version of the route map (thanks SFJCody!).

I was thinking about that map and wondering what the drop down to Endeavour will be like.
I think is about right for the 'Descent towards Endeavour' that might commence late in the year(?!) if all goes smoothly wink.gif

EDIT: I stand corrected. See the revised version of the map above here smile.gif

Hi,

I have long followed this thread but I have not written much already, really.

I have a question about the maps published in KML format. Indeed, an extraordinary job. Take this opportunity to congratulate everyone, especially Teehseiner.

The doubt is that when you load the KML in Google Earth does not get a high resolution map of the latter sites the Rover. Specifically since the route began in Sol 2042.

How can I get it to load in the background?.

Thanks

This section of the background is not part of GE itself but another KML layer created by UMSF member SFJCody based on HiRISE maps.
You should download it with uTorrent. The link is, ..., mmm, somewhere here in this very same thread (edit: already answered by James).

Thank you both. Everything perfect now.

I can't believe found this forum only recently, after following Oppy's progress on JPL's website for the last 5 years, where maps are updated every few months. Very cool to see these maps updated in real time here! Thank you.

If admins approve, and to celebrate the opening up of wide horizons, I suggest a new thread called 'distant vistas' or something like that to hold discussions of this kind. We don't want to clutter up this thread or other location-specific ones. With that in mind here are a couple of links to start off:

In passing I note that the nearest Endeavour 'rim' hills actually rise from some way down inside the hole so we won't see their feet till we're almost there. In the Endeavour Crater thread there was a very nice HRSC 3D view of Endeavour which somebody annotated with elevations. I wanted to look at that again but the HRSC links no longer work for me. Can anybody help with that?
