Hey, hey, hey! Positive thinking! You don't want to jinx it, do you? ;-)

comparison with last martian year energy trend suggests we still have about 100 Sol before going under 300Wh (obviously, there is no guarantee things will go exactly in the same way and a caution margin is needed!):

last update on Sol 3459

Am I right when puting all Mars rovers odometry together is giving us nice cumulative number today?

Sojourner + Spirit + Opportunity + Curiosity = 100 + 7 730 + 38 455 + 3 730 = 50 015 m

Very good energy trend compared to previous martian year, also thanks to favourable dust-factor...

The good energy trend compared to previous martian year should be due to a dust cleaning event (see also increased dust-factor)... could this prelude to imminent roving restart?

Dilo, the rover was never parked during this Winter. If you mean doing longer drives with Oppy, I don't expect realy long drives (> 100 meters) any time soon since we are in a science-rich zone and therefore I expect more like hopping between science targets for a while.

Thanks as always, Dilo - especially for the long term plot. In your first plot, the dust factor is actually better than it looks, since it can't get larger than 1.0 (barring mis-calibration).

It would be interesting to see increases in dust factor somehow indicated on a traverse map, so we could see if/how they correlate with location. But having only the weekly numbers might make it hard.

Fred, you're right about dust plot scale, I decided to use a maximum higher than 1 in order to avoid strong superposition of the two curves...
about the dust-route map, it's a nice idea but I think the major player in dust deposition is time related, not location related... anyway, we would have many "rest" locations associated with multiple dust levels, eventually with very different values!

I didn't update this for a long time.
Some remarks. Lunokhod 2 odometry is not yet official.
I found harder to check the distance from the landing place for Curiosity than for Oppy (kmz file help). Anyway, for Mars, this information is from my own measurement.
I finally thought to sum up distances! We're close to have roved 200 km on extra terrestrial bodies.
Any remark welcomed.


Actual total odometry
1. Lunokhod 2 42.00 km
2. Opportunity (3696) 39.5 km

5. Apollo 16 rover 26.55 km
6. Lunokhod 1 10.50 km
7. Curiosity (671) 8.317 km
8. Spirit 7.73 km
9. Sojourner 0.085 km

Total distance on:
Moon 142.7 km
Mars 55.632
All 198.332

Actual maximum distance from landing place
1. Opportunity (3696) 21.695 km

7. Spirit 3.62 km
8. Lunokhod 1 2.26 km
9. Sojourner 0.01 km

What about adding Yutu? (I think we can consider the actual odometry figures as definitive, now....)

Yep... Me too

Update to Sol 3703 :

Update now include Yutu (Thanks Dilo).
Yutu estimated distances from Phil's latest map.

So Yutu beats Sojurner in both lists!

Yes but, you know, some people think that Sojurner is still alive wandering somewhere on Mars

Update.
Some changes since last one.
Oppy is now n°1 in total odometry as well as maximum distance from landing place.
Curiosity overtook Apollo 15 rover for maximum distance from landing place and is about to get more odometry than Lunokhod 1 (missing another 100m or so)

More data.
The MER program is now over 6000 Sols and over 325.000 pictures (ok, 100k's of the sun...).
Anyway, here is another update.
2 data are not 100% sure, the date when we get 25K as well as (recently) 325K.
The rest is ok.
I remind you that Spirit stopped transmitting on sol 2210 on March 23rd 2010.

A question came to mind: since Curiosity landed, which rover has logged more on its odometer - MSL or Opportunity?

A quick look at a couple of dilo stat posts (miss those!) from earlier this year suggests that both rovers have averaged roughly 4km per earth year. It's interesting that the distances are similar, considering the difference in size and age of each and the contrasting terrains being covered. Amazing that Opportunity has averaged almost 4km/year for a decade!

ADMIN: Those answers are always available if you care to check. Opportunity Curiosity

I don't expect Curiosity to ever surpass Opportunity's odometry (40 plus Km). I've inset NASA's MSL extended mission map over jmknapp's route map showing in the red box the extent of the extended mission map on jmknapp's map. I expect that Curiosity will be within that box over the next two years and not log over a total of 20 Km (from landing). After that, the going will only get slower with rougher terrain and a high density of science targets. Even if Curiosity lasts 20 years, I wonder if it will ever reach 40 Km. That's a good thing because I think the main reason will be the great amount of science that will be done without traveling very far. Opportunity's crater hopping was a much different situation. In the meantime, Opportunity keeps plugging away.

Oppy, 199995 raw images:
http://mars.nasa.gov/mer/gallery/all/opportunity.html

Here is the timeline update for 2014.

And the update for the first half of 2015.

From my side there is nothing new in the second half of 2015: Oppy is still in Marathon Valley

And a little update: Again a half year is over. Oppy is still in the Marathon valley, but prepares to rove to other parts of the Endeavour crater.

And Opportunity is now over thirteen years away from the earth.

And an update again: We have reached 2017 and Oppy is going to celebrate its landing date at 24th January.

Here is the updated timeline of this mission.

It's great that you're keeping this diagram up to date. Solar conjunction for 2017 looks a bit early there, though, comparing the gaps between previous ones.

Yes, you're right, ngunn. I corrected this.

Again here the timelime for our brave rover.
Also I updated is to the first half of 2017.

Does anyone know where to find a spreadsheet containing all this power production data? I'm looking for hourly power production going all the way back to the beginning of the mission, although I'm not sure that data exists. Per-sol data would work, too, if no hourly data exists.

The Sol-by-Sol data exists but I'm not sure this is publicly available. Not sure about the hourly data from the BCB. I typically only look at the Sol data. What use would you make of this data? I can provide the POC to officially ask for this.

Paolo

After one day of hacking, I finally made a table which contains some of the interesting data. I put it on google Docs and let it editable for everyone. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HgO...dit?usp=sharing

The table contains the following:
- The sols until 4895
- The watt-hours per sol as reported in the weekly MER report (https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/status_opportunityAll.html)
- Also the tau factor and dust factor
- And the odometry
- In the column "Cleaning event" I marked the sols, which were reported that a cleaning event happend.
- The columns "Start site", "L sub S", "UTC at local noon" and activity I took from the Analyst's Notebook. (But only to Sol 4680).


For the first 250 Sols I don't have very much information. Is there any other source for this time?

Dear MoreInput.
This is an very nice work
I've done a kind of similar one but within a mission log with figures added only for special events and purposes (dust storm, etc).
Your table goes far beyond !
Thanks a lot for sharing it to the community.
With warmest regards,
VM

This is really great, thank you for assembling it. For the firs 250 sols, did you try poking into the SOWG and Mission Manager's reports for each sol on the Analyst's Notebook? I didn't find all the missing information there, but some (e.g. odometry) was present in a random MM report I looked at.

For tau and dust, ask Mark Lemmon (Deimos on this forum) and I'm sure he'll be happy to help you.

Happy New Year to everyone!
An here the update for the timeline 2017. I just the 45 km landmark. I didn't find any really important locations which are necessary to mention.

I updated also the tau, dust factor and odometry values in the sheet at google docs. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HgO...dit?usp=sharing
The table is free for every one to use.

I updated my Opportunity statistics table to Sol 5038. Also the data from the analyst notebook until 4861 is added.
