What may you estimate? Which direction have they decided for Spirit?
http://www.greuti.ch/spirit/which_route.jpg Thanks Phil for this map! I put my money on 3. This post has been edited by Tman: Jun 2 2005, 07:59 PM -------------------- |

And now...? Looking ahead I made this image of the inner basin from a MOC (but not cPROTO) image:
It looks very rugged! In this view Larry's lookout is right on the top edge a bit left of center. Even the route to the summit will be rough, especially getting past an east-west trending ledge which is probably another outcrop. But beyond it... very rough indeed. But lots of potential to sample more statigraphy on the way down the slope. A dark area near the foot of the slope into inner basin - which some call ultreya - is often shown featureless and black. Here I have lightened it and it shows a central dark stripe. Elsewhere dark stripes are often dust devil tracks, but this one is alone and on a slope. Maybe this is one of the small landslide features which are often seen on steep slopes on Mars as dark steaks. They lighten over time as dust collects on them. It would be the first one seen from the surface, if it is eventually seen. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
