Hi, I spent a couple of days going over one of the HiRise images posted for lost spacecraft searches. ( I did it twice ).
Soviet Mars 3 lander search area. http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/PSP_006154_1345 When searching for manmade lost bits on the surface, you MUST use the full resolution image, you will see nothing if you use a browse image. I use the IAS viewer at 1:1 resolution. Anyway, near the top left, at pixels, 5215x2965, http://www.vk3ukf.com/Mars3PSP_006154_1345-001.jpg  I did send an email to the HiRise blog folks, and to the Planetary Society, I only did this yesterday, so have not heard anything back yet. It is either a nice aeroshell, or a big round shiny rock. Nothing else of interest was spotted in the image, there is only one image out of the entire landing ellipse, if it is an aeroshell, the other bits may be nearby out of frame. It takes me about 6 to 8 hours to check each full resolution image, I have only looked at a couple of full size images, the others were in the MPL area, nothing spotted over there yet, so far. Why does this stand out to me apart from some of the other bright spots on the image, this is the only one that has no blocky appearance, and I can see the back of it that is in shadow. Any thoughts on this? Kevin, VK3UKF. |

QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ May 29 2009, 03:48 PM)  I would too, if anyone has a good job for me... Phil I'm glad to see that others are really looking for these things! I thought I was going to go blind looking for MPL. Still haven't found it. But there are new search images coming down as we speak. Also for the Beagle search area. Keep looking! ;oD -Tim. |
