MARS: CURIOSITY u krateru GALE

Ne znam ništa više nego što piše u u priloženom članku.
NASA nema običaj prije otkrivati detalje... u 20h će biti izravan prijenos(TV NASA )

Prijenos uživo večeras u 20h po našem vremenu.

I što misliš o čemu je riječ?

Nažalost zakasnio sam na izravni prijenos a mislim da se o ovome radi.
Zanimljiv fenomen gubljenja Marsove atmosfere.
Nadam se  da na sne čeka slična sudbina kao i Marsa i da je Zemljino magnetno polje ipak toliko jako da jone zraka
zadržava u našem krugu.

Outstanding stereo...

Isto kao iznad, cross-eyed.

Još jedan stereo...

sol 1158...Po svoj prilici zaobilazak "kratera" slijeve...

Na  ruti Ph. Stooke-a sam unio novi položaj vozila. Gruba ocjena.

Dobro sam locirao...skoro u dlaku.

Sol 1160-1161: Brandberg

9 November 2015
The 68-meter drive planned for Sol 1158 completed as planned, placing the rover near a dark, circular feature named "Brandberg."  The tactical operations team studied the images of Brandberg and discussed the value of contact science observations in this area, ultimately deciding to drive on toward the Bagnold Dunes.  But before leaving, ChemCam and Mastcam will observe targets "Hoba" and "Gibeon" on the Brandberg feature, which appears to be a remnant of a deposit that has been mostly eroded away.  Observations of targets "Bogenfels"
and "Roter Kamm" are also planned, to better understand the rocks upon which the Brandberg material was deposited, as well as another test of the AEGIS software.  Mastcam will also acquire mosaics of other interesting features before the Sol 1160 drive, including a sandy ripple named "Elim."  The Sol 1161 plan is relatively simple, with the usual DAN, REMS, and RAD background observations along with a ChemCam measurement of the atmosphere over the rover.

Sols 1164-1165: Brushing "Swartkloofberg"

13 November 2015
The rover drove over 38 meters on Sol 1162, as expected.  We are transitioning out of restricted planning, so only 2 sols are being planned for this weekend.  There were so many good ideas for activities this morning that the team had to decide which to remove from the plan to leave enough charge in the rover's batteries to enable nominal planning on Monday.  Still, the plan is a very full one:  On Sol 1164, ChemCam and Mastcam will observe one of the Bagnold Dunes that is a near-term goal for detailed investigation, plus other more nearby targets called "Swakop" and "Zaris."  After another AEGIS checkout activity, the arm will be deployed to take a MAHLI image of the REMS UV sensor and of a rock dubbed "Swartkloofberg."  Then the DRT will brush the dust off Swartkloofberg and MAHLI will acquire mosaics of the brushed spot and of Swakop before the APXS is placed on the brushed spot for
an overnight integration.

On Sol 1165, the arm will be stowed and the rover will drive farther south, again orienting the vehicle for REMS wind measurements.  After sunset, SAM will clean its scrubbers, an engineering activity that has been performed twice before.  Finally, the rover will go to sleep and recharge in preparation for the next sol's activities.

Očigledno  se ide  na "crni pijesak". Ako zbitost bude solidna moguće je da će, zbog izbjegavanja novih oštećenja kotača,  nastavak vožnje biti rubom pijeska...
