A few more distant names added to a previous post of mine. This is from abstract 1694 by Matt Golombek et al.

Incredible : the unstowing of the grapple on Sol 62 released some dust on the camera optics A streamable version (looped) using some of the frames link |

Incredible : the unstowing of the grapple on Sol 62 released some dust on the camera optics The extremely thorough and interesting News releases on the SEIS website mention that they were concerned enough about dustfall that they could not leave the arm pointing skywards in stow position between attempts to stow the grapple. |

Yes! But will it be put on top in a single day's movement like the placing of SEIS itself, or will they have multiple steps?

I think the general feeling is they'd like to do it in one day, just incase you know the low chance the grapple slips off, or the lander goes into safe mode leaving the WTS swaying in the wind. |

It looks like the skirt is not extending all the way. I wonder if this was anticipated? The SEIS account on Twitter has an animation of the skirt slowly "relaxing": @InSight_IPGP

There was more extension to come after those pictures. The SEIS Twitter account tweeted that they guessed it had expanded a lot more based on the data from the seismometer and they were right: Tweet with GIF of extension. |
