QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Dec 14 2006, 08:01 PM)  Curiously, the data available tells that on sol 1021 the rover moved about 53m, which is in contradiction with the 2m indicated on the last status report. Yes a nice surprise! Not a contrdiction, the status report says they moved 2m to get some long baseline on BB_NE, which is true*, what the fail to mention is that after that she then drove another 50m! *Actually according to the tracking data the move was more like 5m. Complicating sol 1021 even more Oppy then drove a further 11m before imaging Islas Baleares *then* the final drive of the sol.

Do we know the next drive direction? South to Bottomless Bay or east to the next cape? Do we have a name for that cape?

The 1027 drive direction pancams are pointed due east, so I don't think we are going to approach the end of Bottomless bay but head straight around to the far side to image the cliffs on the SW side. As far as I know the next cape (B1) has no name other than "Bottomless Bay NE"

er, where did you see the 1027 drive direction pancams?
The pancams posted on exploratorium Dec 14 were the drive direction pancams from sol 1021 ( Dec 8 ) . I think they were sent after the 1027 drive because they were assigned a high priority before the Odyssey "glitch". |

As far as I know the next cape (B1) has no name other than "Bottomless Bay NE" ... It is beginning to appear that this will be the current drill. Zip from cape to cape, imaging the next one and the one being left behind. It sounds eerily like what they said they would do. This will be great fun, for as long as it lasts.
