Let's use this topic for the last stops (Cabo Frio, perhaps?) before Opportunity leave the vicinity of Victoria for good.

Q & D polar projection of the navcam mosaic taken on sol 1664.
We can see Cape Verde almost to the N (top) and "Cape Pillar" to the ENE.

Did Oppy just drive 283 meters in two drives ?

Only 11.717 to go! smile.gif

Cool to know that if Oppy kept this average (141.5) everysol she would arrive Endeavour in 82 sols! blink.gif
I'm deliberately not taking into account that we're not driving in a straight path towards the crater...but, optimist as I am I see the 2 year drive as a very conservative timeline... rolleyes.gif

It took 5 sols to cover that distance. Not two. Two drives - but five sols.

And this is just about the best driving terrain we'll ever have, and we wont have it for long ( at this pace biggrin.gif ).

A fast couple of months, then it's going to be painfull.

I'm not moaning but:
Do you know why it took 5 days?
Restricted sols can explain 3 days instead of 2 ,and isn't MRO started relaying data from MERs?
Can there be a "restricted sol" with 2 orbiters relaying data?
Anyway.....these last 2 drives were just great. wheel.gif rolleyes.gif

MRO isn't doing MER relay at the moment as I understand it.

Restricted sols are not a symptom of relay schedules however. Odyssey will usually get a good pass in most days at about 4pm, MRO would get one (if used ) at about 3pm local.

The restriction is a symptom of rover-night and pasadena-day being out of sync. i.e. you have to start planning for Sol N+1 before you have the data for Sol N. Sol N's data can only be used for planning Sol N+2

So - as a result, everything sort of takes twice as long as you might expect. Tie that in with the fact that they didn't get post-drive imagery down until the sol AFTER the first drive, then you can see how the days add up.
