I am having difficulty finding decent comparison data, especially for the planned ExoMars's Pasteur rover as well as the planned MSL and ancient L's. I keep wondering: if we put them all at Oppy's current position, which one would be the first to reach Victoria's rim? I guess one should take into consideration not only the average speed (which I have never seen presented in a nice table for comparison) but also maneuverability and modes of navigation...

Those dust storms are not too stormy. This link:
http://www.house.gov/science/hearings/spac...pr01/spudis.htm (1/3 down the page) points out that the Apollo lunar reflectors are not at all affected by dust after more than 30 years. I've seen similar comments by the laser people themselves. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
