QUOTE (atomoid @ Dec 20 2018, 02:37 AM)  i'm curious what the 'EDR' as well as the 'M' at the end represent. Fairly sure EDR is "Experiment Data Record" |

QUOTE (atomoid @ Dec 20 2018, 03:37 AM) I never was able to get Cargo Cult's walkabout VR version of InSight's landing site working, just brings up a simple image, perhaps i need SteamVR equipment or something like that? Yes you need VR equipment. |

EDR, the Experiment Data Record, is the actual data from the spacecraft as received. It has not been calibrated, cleaned of noise or processed in any other way, and in the case of an image not map-projected (for instance, LRO Camera EDRs are often a mirror-image of the map-projected version, which causes new users no end of confusion). The original file for these InSight images is the EDR, and strictly speaking we are not getting that in the public release but it's what the science team have.

Congratulations to the team!!!!! Most significant mission milestone since touchdown!

animation of the deployment. the tether looks blurred in the frame after it releases from the deck

My take on the SEIS deployment GIF, I added the timestamps and brightened each of the sol 22 frames a little.

I thought the deployment would have been so much slower with stops at many locations to check things, looks like it was one smooth deployment movement.

I will just mention that I am working on a site map and will post it when I can.

Probably they figure that it is less risky to do the deployment in one (well practised) move, than leaving the instrument dangling on the tether for longer periods of time.
Congratulations to the team! -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

With instruments in the FOV, the dust on the camera really isn't as bad as it appeared with only dirt and gravel of the same hue in the FOV.
Also, it's funny to think back on this being called slow-ish. Seems like lightning speed! |

Wonderful news! And if it seems fast, it did take a whole Martian day to do this.
Judging from the press release, the heat flow probe will go on the far right of the work space to have as much distance from SEIS as possible? Seems a bit more rocky on that side though... EDIT: nevermind looks like it will be on the left, actually, judging by this (https://twitter.com/NASAInSight/status/1075559676069048320) C was the final spot for SEIS, so HP3 might go around the H area. |

I think the A or E areas are what is intended, based on the rendered images of deployed instruments.

Looking at the deployed Seismometer on the ground, one thing occurred to me. Wouldn't the flex-cable moving around in the wind impart some minor vibrations into the instrument? Are there any isolation mechanisms on the cable interface into the instrument that will help mitigate that?
