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 (edstrick @ Nov 29 2005, 11:17 AM) Note that this problem has occurred during the 4 day Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend in the US. I assume they parked both rovers at nice outcrops and planned LONG Mossbauer integrations and the like... basically a 4 or 5 day pre-programmed sequence so people could have most of the weekend off. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!! So is that waisting precious time or what...nobody looked at raw images , nobody to react because they are on holiday? I'm not trying to start another "They deserve a rest once in a while" discusion , just thinking how many of you guys would sacrifice your holidays so that you can be in control of vehicle on Mars...I would... Yes I know that it's not "just sit back and drive" but these guys are so privileged few who can DRIVE ROVERS ON ANOTHER PLANET...I would sell my soul to &$*#@ and work 365 days a year , without salary or food to have their job...are they looking for rover drivers? -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
