According to the NASA TV schedule, there is an MER news conference set for September 1, at 1 pm EDT (5 pm GMT). Take it with a pinch of salt, because these schedules change a lot. Whenever it happens it will be shown on NASA TV.
This is the first press conference since when? I can't remember when we saw the last one... I'm guessing this is when we'll see the "Mother of all Panoramas". Hopefully some news on the science too, and future route plans.

It's fairly simple.
With only 600 whrs, there's not much you can do really - basic function, couple of naps during the day, a uhf pass - jobs-a-goodun. But if you've got 950 whrs - you can do a couple of UHF passes, loads of imaging, loads of Minites work, lots for the rover to do - you can expend all that energy But so well insulated is the WEB, that doing all the work generates a lot of heat (anything except mobility and IDD work involves heat being generated in the WEB ) - 300 Whrs of it  Thats like putting a really REALLY bright lightbulb in there for the afternoon. No wonder it can get so hot in there! So - to stop it overheating - you throttle back on what you want to do in the day.Doug |

Exactly, it took me some more words to say the same.....(English is not my mother tongue....sometimes i wish it was, participating between you all....).
Who the .... would have ever thought by the way, that after 590 sols of operation, we could need a FAN and RADIATOR to pump martian air through the web to cool it !! It's fantastic news !! I suddenly get the feeling that this missions (or at least one of them) could be supported by MRO passes

I wonder if a mission extension at 1000 sols is going to be an issue? |
