I am not a professional space explorer, but an avid follower. Frequently I see posts, images, etc. that refer to "sol xyz." I was wondering what the best tools out there are to map between a particular sol and a calendar date? For example, has any one through about a google calendar that displayed the rover sols overlayed on a calendar? I realize that each sol would start at a different time each day, but that time could be displayed. I am also familiar with: http://msl-curiosity.requio.com/ http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/mars24/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mars-clock/id532009322 But last I checked these mapped my current time on Earth to the current time of rovers on mars. Oh, and I guess we also need to include Chang'e 3 sols now too... |

Curiosity data:
https://an.rsl.wustl.edu/msl/mslbrowser/tab.aspx?t=MS Spirit and Opportunity data: http://an.rsl.wustl.edu/mer/merbrowser/his...hist&m=MERB you can download tables listing all sols with a matching Earth date. For the Moon we typically use Earth dates. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
