QUOTE (antoniseb @ Jun 28 2007, 08:18 AM)  I was looking at that, and I had to wonder whether there is something related to the rover's movement that degraded the old tracks. We haven't seen that kind of surface alteration at any previous time, in any previous location on this mission (that I've noticed). It looks to me like the wind is from one direction but was diverted around the rover. |

That's it, of course! I forgot the rover was sitting at the far end of those tracks for two sols. Like you say, the wind must've blown while she was sitting there and formed eddies etc around the wheels and body.

WRT moving on sol 1218, we have the usual nav/pancam mosaics on the exploratorium but it looks to be an aborted drive.

I´ve just checked the PCDT web and it looks like sol 1232, which has just started, will be driving day.
 I won´t expect a big move right to Duck Bay but the fact that we are on the move is an indication the power levels are enough to support such activity. Good news!

Oppy sol 1281 L257 1x4 of Duck Bay:
 Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but thought I would share... The pancam images have been processed by using the L2 L7 SkyFlat images as masks to compensate for the lens dust. Also, a square root filter was applied to the images after dusty lens processing. There are links from the panorama to individual 3D images. |

sol 1285 R0 1x3:
 The images in this pan have an experimental navcam sky-flat lens correction. It actually worked out better than I thought. There are image links to a navcam 3D and an L2 pancam montage with similar lens corrections. |

Hello, I'm turning to the UMSF community in order to get some help in completing an article on the MER 2007 operations.
More specifically, I'm searching for a high resolution (color) photo (panorama) showing the path Opportunity choose to return back to Duck Bay. There's isn't much at: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/pan...as/opportunity/  Similar to: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/uploads...80641_thumb.jpg or http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=10794 or http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=10939 Thanks in advance!!!

There isn't much. There isn't even much Pancam. Maybe someone colorized a Navcam mosaic? A color mosaic was taken looking back from the farthest point of Oppy's voyage around VC, the D-star Panorama. |
