It took more than 13 years, but it finally happened, and it happened on my watch. Today I had the pleasure of sequencing a drive with Doug Ellison in the room. I wish all of you UMSF-ers could be part of it. Well, you are, but you know what I mean.

I KNEW the drive felt particularly UMSF today.
 Great job, Paolo!

Coming full circle; congrats Doug!
Is is safe to say that this is the first time a mission ever lasted long enough for enthusiasts to end up on the mission team? (Maybe Voyager?) |

QUOTE (climber @ Mar 16 2017, 05:42 AM) Hahaha! 682x13= how many Sol ? That would be Sol 8865, Jan 1 2029. I think that the most difficult part is that for JPL is is a Holiday, so you will have to wait Jan 2nd.

QUOTE (climber @ Mar 15 2017, 02:17 PM) I guess Oppy will still be around It's possible the batteries could last 15,000 sols before really degrading. Who knew it could go full circle. Even when I started working at JPL 7 years ago, the idea of working in surface ops didn't even enter my mind. It was only last summer when people like Paolo suggested it that it became a possibility. Certified as an ECAM Uplink Lead on MSL just before Christmas, and Wednesday was my first training shift on MER for the same role ( plus MI duty! ) . It'll be a month or two before I'm certified on MER as well - but I can't wait to start contributing meaningfully to a mission that in every possible way - absolutely changed my life. Paolo, Keri, Mike, Kim, Hallie, Fred, Scott...... I just hope I can make you proud

It seems the air is clearing enough for spying distant features once more. On the horizon just left of centre here is what I take to be part of Bopolu - please correct me if I'm wrong. http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...00P0703L0M1.JPG
EDIT: On further examination I think it's too far south for Bopolu, so maybe it's the top of charborob's hill, first noted here - http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...st&id=34597 |
