Victoria’s Secrets Revealed in Color in Aviation Week: 2 Oct 2006
International UMSF Team publishes 1st Color Pan from Duck Bay Victoria’s Secrets are revealed in tantalizing color as a navcam panorama spread across 2 pages as the Lead news story inside the 2 October 2006 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine (p. 24). The 4 page article written by aerospace journalist Craig Covault describes the dramatic and nearly three year long expedition by the Opportunity Rover across the martian surface and the complex and dangerous science operations ahead (see http://www.aviationnow.com). An international UMSF team of martian enthusiasts merged and colorized the navcam panorama taken about 8 feet from the rim of Duck Bay on Sol 952 (Sept 28) using raw data available to everyone.

Wow. You guys did it again. Congratulations, it's one heck of a view when you spread it across two screens.

I want to express my gratitude to all team and in particular to Ken, who efficiently coordinated this "trans-continental" effort...
This is an alternative version of Sol952 view we worked out, with some brightness adjustments and different sky: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

well done!
It looks to me that Victoria seems better accesible from the point where it is now than at the far rim or is this an optical illusion? |

Great work.
By the way, that image has almost exactly the same field of view as the 'Duck Bay' pan. A nice preview of what's to come. James -------------------- |

As of this moment, the color pan is now on APOD today (2 Oct 2006).
It has been changed from the JPL B&W version to our team color pan. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061002.html |

holy cow. that is awesome, i was wondering when a nice color of that view would pop up. i have recently been making desktops of these type of images to those of us who are not a part of the sci community, we are not even aware that this kind of work happens outside of NASA or mission specialists. it makes me wonder how many images i have been using might call for credits. i took a shot at colorizing don mitchell’s venera images and got a smack down for only giving him minor props for his awesome work in the image i was working with.
