I have watched the latest press briefing. This time, there were not many surprising things, excpet perhaps that both rovers are
healthy and tha they do one hop each day (in the morning). Temp. range is from about -20 o +30. The camera angle is 125 degrees along the diagonal of the pictures that we see. JAXA showed a short movie made from 15 frames. OCN-W1 and OCN-T both found either rovers or their cover, as shining objects, but they are still unsure what they actually are. They are found near N6. Most of the press briefing was spent on MASCOT and MASCOT operation will be starting from 30 September to 4 October including preperation. Actually, they even, during rover operation, started preperation for preperation for MASCOT. P |

With so many small rock pieces with no sign of sands I am already pessimistic about sampler horn catching any form Ryugu surface.
These rock pieces seem very hard even for high speed bullets! P |

Incredible images, wow! I would like to see these images too:

If they keep bouncing, how far will they go? Hopefully not interfering with the other landers! Plus, it would complicate any attempts to map each hop, as if it weren't hard enough! Good luck Phil!

I guess there is a corollary to Murphy's law: your asteroid rover can land in infinite^3 attitudes, but the camera will end facing the sun

Thank you! Can't wait for more images! I wonder how long the rovers will last; perhaps when MASCOT lands too?

They have solar panels, they are in full sunlight, and MASCOT is coming within less than a week, so I'm quite sure they'll all live together on Ryugu for a while. But MASCOT will land on the opposite side, per schedule. |

Here's a 'new' image synthesized from the frames of the movie. I masked out the sun glare on each frame and merged them.
In answer to mcmcmc's comment above about expecting 15 frames rather than 7 - that was a subset of the frames. There actually were 15 in the full video. Phil

Wonderful work! I wonder what they would look like if the 'fisheye' view was corrected (like the Venera surface views, though not as extreme)?

Is anybody able to figure out how to use Hugin panorama viewer/stitcher to convert a 125° fisheye to an equirectangular projection?
There are also an ImageMagick plugin and NASA G.Projector to play with.  Others to try: Cube2DM PTGui Re:lens |

I think somebody said something about rover hopping on this forum. I also have read something about it. Apparently, they are programmed to hop out of darkness automatically. So, they do one hopping each morning and if they fall into a shade they will automatically hop again. If they find themselves yet again in a shade, presumably they will hop again. If then again they land in a shade their battery power may be running out already and presumably they will die there, I think. They are perhaps like sunlight hoppers. P |
