Another 'preview' on the long-but finished awesome Mc Murdo pan

Very nice, Nico

This is going to be soooo awesome; can't wait to see the whole set on MMB...

[mhoward]

Here are a couple McMurdo-in-progress perspective views. I might play with the color a bit yet.

Sunset on Mars.

Seen by Spirit on Sol 818.

Taken with the L7 pancam.

I've added another column to the L7 pan (that makes 8, 1/3 of the way there!) and redone the 14 frame full colour one (no missing sections and better colour)

I won't bother putting the thumbnails in this time, save a bit of bandwidth.

See my website.

I've just found this on the tracking web plan for tosol (830); a rat brush movie of 100 pics.

When the full resolution pan is finished, what dimensions will it have?

I think this will be an obligatory poster for my office, just want to get an idea of how much it will cost to get printed based on size in inches or whatever I can never convert from pixels to the appropriate measure....

[djellison]

It'll be something like 22348 x 4000, to as much as 6000.

At a poster sort of resolution ( 150dpi ) you could do that at 3.7 x 0.6-1m

Amazing what can be done with that 1 megapixel pancam and a desktop computer...

You'll need a BIG wall too

3.7m!!!
Hmmmm, I guess my shelves can go, and a white board or two, and it looks like the end wall will have to be knocked too. I have my priorities afterall.
Actually for once I'm wishing my office was smaller so that I could wrap it around the four walls to make it a proper panorama

Thanks for the info.....3.7m!

"Spirit will remove a layer of soil up to 1 millimeter thick (the thickness of a dime)." - per this link.

Well, the pictures coming back looks like the first attempts at “1 millimeter removal” of soil thickness were fairly well mucked up. What seems to have been created is more or less a sticky-wicket of piled up soil in a deeper hole than intended.

I hope they have better results in future attempts. I'd really like to see gradual 1mm 'removal.'

Yep, that wicket surely looks sticky. The soil is so fluffy-yet-cohesive that brushing is difficult. I wonder if they could place the "positioning ring" of the RAT just on the surface and move the arm laterally to scrape the surface?

NASA Mars Rover Spirit Status 5 May 2006

http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.nl.html?pid=20515

"Spirit is healthy and continuing to make progress on the rover's winter
campaign of scientific experiments. This week Spirit continued work on
the full-color, 360-degree "McMurdo panorama." The finished panorama
will combine 27 columns of images."

[Astro0]

Well, after much delay, here's the SFX shot of the sunset panorama.
I hope that this quarter-resolution version comes up OK. My screen's Gamma correction wasn't at optimum.
Enjoy

PS: A full-res version will go up on my website in a day or so.
