Spirit seems to be at a really hard angle after moving away from the ridge.
Navcam image: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/na...44P0775R0M1.JPG Rear Hazcam: http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/re...44P1313R0M1.JPG I hope there is no problem. It seems to me thats almost 45 degree angle -- hazard avoidance should have stopped the rover already at 30 or so? Edit: Well, the horizon is at only 22 degree angle in the navcam image after all. Just appeared quite bad. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

It always amazes me to think how capable these rovers are - after traveling over all the obstacles and experiencing extreme tilting they still find their bearings and are able to communicate with Earth.
I think considering what kind of terrain Spirit has been traveling, Opportunity should have no problem zipping around the Etched Terrain. |
