Did you ever find out what "LST" there exactly means - is it LTST (Local true solar time)?


I would say so because the "Starting LST" of the pancam L1 sequence on sol 1579 (on your attachment) matches exactly the LTST of its first image.
But that's just my guess.

Here we go again. Looks like some digging in to me.

If this is one of their "stress tests" to see how solid the surface is, this amount of digging in may still be acceptable since it supposedly represents the worst that could happen on that surface. On the other hand, maybe it is a red flag.

It looks like they drove forward and moved back a bit, so I'd guess test, or turn.

Doesn't seem to be any change from the rear hazcams that came down on 8 July.

There was no driving attempt on sol 1586, just a new rhazcam shot with slightly less compression.

> On the other hand, maybe it is a red flag.

My opinion too. Yellow flag perhaps.

With Wall-E getting all the media attention, I thought it was time people were reminded of the amazing story of a REAL robot hero, out there exploring another planet right now...

That's my submission for this coming week's "Carnival of Space" and it name-checks a few UMSFers so I hope they use it, and give those members some of the credit and appreciation their work deserves.

Oppy took this on SOL 1583 with the solar filter.

There is no so-by-sol commentary for Sol 1583 on the MER site (yet)

It looks like it took a picture of the sun being occluded by the top of the cape?

(this is not Demos of Phobos eclipse ??)

Cheers

Well, while we wait, here's a continuation of the Quicktime VR movie from earlier. This is a cheat, since it adds Navcam images from a subsequent (similar) location. But it seems to hang together well enough if you don't look to closely, and it fills in more of the view.

The view is fascinating real!

That QT is sensational, like being there... smile.gif

Not as impressive, I know, but still quite a view, I think...

BTW: anyone wanting to see some truly jaw-droppingly impressive 3Ds of mars should go here...

Thanks, Tesheiner. So it seems Tman's filename decoder agrees with pancam web to 5 minutes or so, which is very good. Also, Tman says that his decoder agrees well with MER Analyst's Notebook and the Mars24 Sunclock.

The LTST calculation from the filname code is now better adjusted with the available official data - first Image of the late sequence on sol 1579.

Pictures from the latest drive are at the exploratorium.

And the rear right wheel (left on the image) is digging in the sand: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...BFP1314R0M1.JPG
