Well, with Oppy on solid ground now I think we can say she has officially arrived at the Etched terrain.
On a side note, is it my imagination, or is the dust in the air clearing a lot the past few days? I haven't seen a shot this clear in ages...or perhaps this etched terrain is on slightly higher ground than the surround sea of dunes? http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...47P0607L0M1.JPG |

Oppy does not appear to be dead-- she's transferring data and is doing a lot of downsampled Navcams, evidently plotting a new route on the Erebus Highway onramp. No more word (AFAIK) on the 'puter reboot.
One odd series of images-- she seems to have done some back-and-forth-and-over driving across a dune crest, does not seem to be the usual post-drive uplink positioning maneuver: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...WGF0006L0M1.JPG I'm looking forward to getting on the wide bedrock exposures of the Highway... --Bill -------------------- |
