Midnight Planets reporting that Curiosity moved approximately 46.2m SSE (161º) on Sol 1172. LINK Quick and Dirty L-NavCam using the 5 available frames (MS ICE), reduced ~10% to get within the UL limit

Wow, what an angle! Earth dunes can never get that steep, can they? A rare reminder of the lower gravity on the red planet...

Wow, what an angle! Earth dunes can never get that steep, can they? A rare reminder of the lower gravity on the red planet...

Has anyone here attempted to estimate the angle of these slip slopes? Be interesting to compare the difference between the two planets:)

Edit
With Phil and Fernando both busy, I decided to have a very rough stab at the location at the end of the 1194 drive, I've added it onto Phil's 1192 map and posted it here to keep the signal to noise ratio down on the official map thread... Comments and criticism welcome rolleyes.gif

Check out the size of the slip-slope using the scale... It looks like ~10 m? So, if we know the angle we could estimate the actual height smile.gif
