Check this stereo view out taken with the nav cam on Sol412...looks like Oppy passed right by an interesting rock. I've looked to see if there's any other images of it but couldn't find any. If any of you find it, let me know...thanks.

This additional imaging would presumably take a lot of memory in the rover and Pando has confirmed the memory use.

But I don't see why they would need to downlink this data, unless there was something going wrong in the autonavigation.


My suspicion is that Navcam imaging is fed into a local simulator to refine the autonav software.
