All the latest MI images from Opportunity shows this part of the rover:
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...KCP2957M1M1.JPG The only thing I can think of is that it is an image taken with the IDD stowed. Actually the front hazcam pictures confirms this. What can the reason for this be? A problem with the IDD so it didn't unstow, but somehow the MI carried out its tasks? -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

QUOTE (djellison @ Dec 3 2005, 04:03 PM) I know that, but consider how many fantastic "rocks","layerings","outcrops" are ahead of us... There is one only 20-30 meters away...then there is that Victoria crater we all want to see...some of us in this lifetime... Woud it be souch a terrible los if we skip this one?

If you were a geologist, investigating never-before-seen-by-man northern Arizona, would you spend your limited time investigating outcrops near Flagstaff, or would you try to drive your jalopy to the Grand Canyon, even though it may fail on the way? Where would you be more likely to get detailed information on geology from eons past? Scott |
