Oppy went right back up the same route today, just slightly off-center from the tracks that had started to dig in.
http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...FYP1254L0M1.JPG One would like to know how much of this is part of a plan versus flip-flopping decisions each day. Are they packing down the dirt to facilitate crossing the dune? Did they simply decide that the rover was in no real danger and loosen up her drive parameters and send her back the same way? |

Yup - Purgatory 2 is right on the left there, then a rather brave drive between bits of dune to head out onto more outcrop...
The rover drivers are getting very clever  Looking at the increasingly valuable pancam tracking those navcam frames are from... 608 p1655.01 10 0 0 10 0 20 navcam_5x1_az_90_1_bpp 609 was restricted, and 610 was further driving. These reports of 30 - 40+ metre drives are very promising, even with restricted sols, that's a weekly drive distance of 150m or so, not too shoddy. Doug |
