With a whole legion of unmanned spaceflight enthusiasts at this site, it's been a wonderful source of information regarding the activities of the MER rovers (among many other things). But it has not always been so. Looking back at the first threads of the MER Spirit section I found the details of the first 30 or 40 sols fairly sketchy. The section Opportunity had similar, but less severe issues. Can anyone point me to somewhere that has detailed information about the activities of the Rovers for their first few days? Perhaps their original 90-day mission?

The reason I ask is because I am thinking about writing a day-by-day summary of both MER rovers. Huge task, but with as splendid as those missions have been, it's worth doing imho.

Thanks in advance.
