Yup - I agree with your position on the 857 image but converting that to a position on the route map is not so easy as neather of the features you mention can be seen - or have you spotted something I haven't?

The Oppy drivers are very intelligently not caring about dropping to the right of the beeline towards Beagle. They seem to only focus on the traversability of the immediate surroundings, and going for the easier road. That is the correct way of doing it, since the exposed bedrock around Beagle will make it quite easy to tack back towards the crater, when they get down in the vicinity of Beagle.

Below is the guessed Oppy route toward BC for the sol 862 (right now).
Tomorrow, we are going to know it.

For navigation purposes, Oppy will rely only on Navcam, since the Forward, Rear Hazard cameras have too low resolution to identify the grain. Spirit only uses them. Rodolfo |

I've been doing some more work on this and I think I can identify some features:
Which changes the Sol 862 (and retrospectively Sol 860) positions quite a bit. Good news is, this puts us a bit closer to Corner Crater than before James ---- EDIT: Replaced with another refinement. If this new position is correct then I think the sol 857 position is probably a bit off (I think Tesheiner just took the tracking value for that one) there is no way the sol 860 drive was as long as it appears now. -------------------- |

Tesheiner,
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with progress maps (and thanks to James for updating them in Tesheiner's absence). You might have noticed that we are now in a position where we can shift the detailed map to include the north-western edge of Victoria Crater. It makes our destination feel that much closer now.

Just measured the remaining distance to Victoria. 770 m as the (big winged) crow flies
That's about the distance from Eagle Crater to Endurance. -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

Wow. A couple of years ago that distance was a giant leap that took us past the 90 day design life of the Rovers. Today that is virtually a short stroll to see what is over the next hill.

The guess sol 684 route, there are 3 possibilities: I would be almost certain that the next waypoint will be that outcrop directly south - we should make it on the next drive or the one after. The sol 684 will be a long drive, I think it so since there are many front and rear haz camera. The new route seems to be around 162 degree (South East): Note that every entry appears three times in this list so it's not as many as it appears. I don't agree that the number of hazcam shots programmed has any relevence to the drive distance - all the driving images (autonav/slip detection) that may indicate distance are commanded by the fight software and don't appear on the tracking database beforehand. About the 162 degrees - that is the pointing direction of the centre image in the 5 frame navcam pan taken *after* the drive I don't think it tells us anything about the upcoming drive direction. It *may* indicate the general dirction of the drive after the upcoming one - and indeed, it is pointed toward Beagle . -------------------- |

I'm back to "business" but still in recovery-mode trying to sync myself with all that happened during this week.
Nice to see we are steadily approaching BC. If this new position is correct then I think the sol 857 position is probably a bit off (I think Tesheiner just took the tracking value for that one) there is no way the sol 860 drive was as long as it appears now. Think so. In fact I just picked the data from the tracking web (there were no close features/outcrops to refine the positioning) and that could be a bit short because there was a new site defined at end-of-drive, resetting all distance parameters. And many thanks to keep the route map updated, James. You might have noticed that we are now in a position where we can shift the detailed map to include the north-western edge of Victoria Crater. It makes our destination feel that much closer now. Yup. I'll do that this weekend. |

Sol 864 tracking data is up - looks like a ~42m drive - waiting for images...
-- Hmm, doesn't look like we've had any images in over 24 hours - I hope Exploratorium isn't down again. Here is the position for 864 from just the tracking data then. (I thought I'd take this one while Tesh gets back up to speed.) James -------------------- |

Yep, looks like the exploratorium is down.
