 A little self reflection it would appear - thats a navcam image showing the IDD deploying the MI on the FR solar array ( there's two more as well ) results are...    Quite what can be determined from this I dont know - as I dont believe we have a reference image of the arrays way back at landing time - but a comparison between Opportunity and Spirit will happen I'm sure - as Opportunity will probably be commanded to do a similar exercise over the w'end Doug |

Let's hope the spring/summer sun on Mars can make up for the drawback caused by dust
 Or maybe it's more windy on top of the hill so it can be cleaned a bit when they get there... Are we getting out of the winter? Midwinter was in september so it must be spring by january. Time to remove the little flash movie on the JPL site, or make another one

QUOTE Let's hope the spring/summer sun on Mars can make up for the drawback caused by dust. I think the increase in solar energy will more than make up for the dust build up. I wonder about the chances for a spring dust storm though. |
