Yep, but I guess he doesn't need Nasa's ok when he wants to better study Victoria biggrin.gif

That's got to be UMSF's Quip of the Month. Top marks.

Weird MI snapshots of some sort of port opening and closing:

Some sort of MI diagnostic? I was wondering why they imaged 'innocent bystander' twice on sol 1251/1252. Maybe something's wrong with the MI?

Lots of nice surface detail visible in today's 456...

Attached Image


Interesting rock down the bottom there, two very different textures... or is the smooth rock just sitting in front of the pitted one?

Looks to me if there is a substantial dust build-up on that filter/ lens cover. Images taken with the filter in place would be..... unsure.gif

I'm not 100% sure, but I think those MI's are looking at the miniTES aperture near the top of the pancam mast. Compare with the images here. Can anyone confirm this? What has the tracking database called these images? How close can they get the MI to the upper pancam mast?

Boy, if I'm right this is pretty interesting - imaging miniTES with the MI! I suppose there could be dust on the miniTES mirror that they're trying to characterize. Or is the miniTES aperture covered with a clear filter?

Sheesh, I had seen the navcams but hadn't checked the timestamps. The 3 MI images posted above were taken between the two navcam images. The navcams show the MI looking a bit downwards, towards the miniTES. So that clinches it.

I hope miniTES is OK. unsure.gif

Here's an animation from the four available MI frames showing the miniTES aperture:

fredk is right, they are imaging miniTES with the MI. They plan to use this technique to troubleshoot Oppy's miniTES (to find out if there is a mechanical failure in the mirror). They are trying it out first on Spirit.

It looks to me as if the two textures are part of the same fragment. If that's the case it represents two very different types of deposits.

Cool.
