Looks like the Sol 12 images are coming down

Motion in the scoop for sure, so hopefully a full delivery will be imaged...in full.

Can anyone venture a guess as to why anyone, anywhere would even *bother* to transmit an image product like this all the way from Mars to Earth?



I mean, quite frankly, there was just as much useful information in that Mars 3 surface image... unsure.gif

But you don't know that till you download it ( and Phoenix doesn't have the capacity luxury of saving all the images over several days for thumbnail downloading and selective downlinking thereafter )

It's classified as Sky survey tests, it's taken with a solar filter, thus it would be a very very very long exposure, thus it has a lot of noise in it. Given that there's no night-time to get noise readout images, it's probably the best they can do. Flatfield, bias, noise, are all important contributors to making sure you get the very best calibrated imagery that you can. So yeah - you may be thinking 'what the hell sort of a picture is that' - but it will make sure all the other pictures are as clean and calibrated as they can be smile.gif
