Hopefully doing another Jim'n'Doug show tonight - I've got a shed of questions myself, but if anyone has anything burning....let me know today...before about 1700UT

Doug

Edit - will add to this as the day progresses.



On the Menu

(yes - I'm chaning the colours as I chat to Jim so I don't forget where I've got to smile.gif )

General
Toma B : Flight software update - how long left, what can it do etc etc
Photon transfer calibration.... what / why etc.
Calibration - how to you monitor camera performance with a dirty Calibration target (relating to above)
Tesheiner: Pancam - actual field of view ( varous papers/websites have different figures, 15.8º, 16.0º, 16.8º ) ( each pixel 0.273 milli rad 0.003+/- - 16.1 degrees )
Ustrax : Grad Student involvement...what do they do and what could it mean for their futures.

Spirit
Mc Murdo Pan - how is it going, how much left, what's it revealing etc ( And it's today's APOD! )
Changes over time - any changes seen over the past couple of months?
Meteorites....how many in total...potential post-winter target?


Oppy
Toma B: Beagle Crater (that name hurts smile.gif ) - What imaging plans?
RNeuhaus: Approach strategy to Vic. Straight there or Rim craters etc?

The Amateur World
Paxdan : Have you composted team members into some MER Pans (no) ( or indeed, team photos using flight or flight spare hardware? (yes))

Right - all done....I'll top and tail it, pack it off to Emily and hopefully it'll be online a bit later biggrin.gif
