Looks to me a wire on the tip of Oppy's left array is not connected anymore sad.gif

Or is it the angle of view that makes it look like that ?

I was thinking that actually - dreaming of the data-budget you could return on hour-long MRO passes whilst it's still in an elliptical orbit during aerobraking smile.gif

at 256kbps - it's just over 900 Mbits, and MRO MOI is in March '06 - so that would be something like Sol 750 - 760. Heck - perhaps they could test out the payload in the weeks preceeding MOI as a navigation tool.
