Haha, lyford, that would be most stupendous! My vote goes for a self-portrait in heatshield too.

QUOTE (lyford @ Jan 20 2005, 02:36 AM) Come on, Oppy, Smile for the thermal blanket - cheese! I vote "self portrait" in the reflective covering - please!!!!! The dirt on the rear-hazcam appearing JUST when they got to the Heatshield and only on the one set of camera is a bit coincidental to me - all this chared cork and resin ready to be run over and I can imagine it easily sending clouds of sticky dust in the air...I think they should do no more than the bare minimum then get away. I was AMAZED they spent so long next to the 'big piece' when the mylar insulation could have folded back around and hit the IDD  Doug |

Yes, and if that problem happened on front hazcam it would seriously inhibit the use of the IDD... They have to be really careful around the debris field, and it's unlikely that they would do any more work on the heatshield.

A new flight director's update is up (they are getting busy, its been months between the updates before this one) and Oppy is going to be investigating the heat shield further.
Strange. I guess they saw something needing a second look in the heat shield. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

Nice picture.
 You can see the area that they brushed - could that be rust in there or just dust that the RAT brush missed?

Looks like it's embedded in the rock so it might be rust or...? The soil around it is definetely interesting.
