I'm looking for resources that give a sol by sol account of lander activities.
Example (in German): Sol 1 Are there any English websites like this? |

Well - firstly you've got to find the space for the thing - MER was the most tightly packed 'dense' thing. Then - you've got to spend Whrs and Mbits imaging the thing and send those images back. Then you've got the thing stuck up in the way for imaging like a stretched LGA, wobbling around casting shadows on the solar arrays.
There are smaller, lighter, better ways of measuring wind speed and direction (like Beagle 2's little instrument) that might have got smuggled on board - but meteorologists don't carry rock hammers, and Geologists don't carry anenometers  seriously - to learn something from the wind I would have thought you would want to have a static stationDoug |
