Три драйва уже сделал ровер

А по русски? :wink:

2. Количество кратеров на "берегу" гораздо больше, значит, там была жидкость, которая "защищала" поверхность.

Где, где, была жидкость?  :shock:

Хм... Интересно, более плотная атмосфера защищала берег от тех же метеоритов?

Дорога на Гленелг


MSL "Кьюриосити" провел на Красной планете уже почти месяц. Все это время аппарат не сходил с первых полос информационных изданий - марсоход пошевелил одним из манипуляторов, попробовал в действии лазерную пушку, передал на Землю новую песню Will.I.Am. Главное, впрочем, то, что марсоход начал, наконец, первую длительную поездку по марсианской поверхности. Цель поездки - район Гленелг.

А ткните меня носом пожалуйста в спектральные характеристики фильтров камеры, которой цветные картинки снимают.... Есть простой и забавный способ анализа цветных изображений, который хотелось-бы применить, но надо знать длину волны фильтров.

интересно с чем связаны небольшие ночные подъемы/колебания температуры грунта :shock:

и похоже у REMS проблемы с измерением влажности

спасибо! а фотка под дебайеризацию была с длинно- или короткофокусной камеры?
Неважно, вопрос снят.

реконструированная термальная карта:


светлое - холодное, темное - теплое. можно инвертировать, но читаться будет хуже. Чем синее, тем менее достоверна реконструкция. Если интересно, расскажу как

Обращают на себя внимание маленькие "горячие" камешки с высокой достоверностью. Им, кстати, на фотографии соответствуют практически чистые от пыли камешки более темного цвета. Что это и почему на нем нет пыли?

[Dude]

если в названии файла MR это Mastcam Right т.е. 100мм, если ML, то 34мм.
dmdimon, посмотрите как тут

работают со цветом, похоже тоже нормализация, результат мне нравится

Rover Completes Fourth Drive

Curiosity drove about 70 feet (about 21 meters) on Thursday, continuing its trek eastward toward a science destination called Glenelg, where it may begin using its drill. This was the rover's fourth drive since landing. The trek to Glenelg is expected to take several weeks, including a stop beginning in the next week or two for conducting activities to check out the rover's robotic arm.

The rover is healthy. Besides the drive, Curiosity's activities during the mission's Sol 24 included imaging of the sky by the rover's Navigation Camera and data collection by environmental monitoring instruments.

Sol 24, in Mars local mean solar time at Gale Crater, ends at 11:19 p.m. Aug. 30, PDT.

Looking Back at Tracks from Sol 24 Drive
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity drove about 70 feet (about 21 meters) on the mission's 21st Martian day, or sol (Aug. 30, 2012) and then took images with its Navigation Camera that are combined into this scene, which includes the fresh tracks. The view is centered toward the west-northwest.[/list]

Orbiter View of Curiosity From Nearly Straight Overhead
Details such as the shadow of the mast on NASA's Mars rover Curiosity appear in an image taken Aug. 17, 2012, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, from more directly overhead than previous HiRISE images of Curiosity.

In this product, cutouts showing the rover and other hardware or ground markings from the landing of the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft are presented across the top of a larger, quarter-resolution overview keyed to the full-resolution cutouts. North is up. The scale bar is 200 meters (one-eighth of a mile).

Curiosity landed Aug. 5, PDT (Aug. 6, EDT). HiRISE imaged the spacecraft during its descent
[ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA15993 ], on the first day after landing
[ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16001 ] and on the sixth day after landing
[ http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA16057 ]. This image was acquired looking more directly down (9 degree roll angle) than the prior images so the pixel scale is improved to approximately 11 inches (27 centimeters) per pixel. Each cutout is individually stretched to best show the information without saturation. A special noise cleaning method was applied to the images by Paul Geissler of U.S. Geological Survey.

The shadow of Curiosity's mast extends southeast from the rover, opposite the solar illumination direction.

Dark spots on the left-side cutouts created streaks radial to the descent-stage impact site. They may be from far-flung rocks or objects associated with the impact. Seven bright spots associated with the descent stage crash site, as well, may be pieces of hardware.

There are also bright pieces scattered around the backshell, mostly downrange, and interesting detail in the parachute. The rover is approximately 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) away from the heat shield, about 2,020 feet (615 meters) away from the parachute and back shell, and approximately 2,100 feet (650 meters) away from the discoloration consistent with the impact of the sky crane.

Other products from the same HiRISE observation can be found at
http://www.uahirise.org/ESP_028401_1755 .

HiRISE is one of six instruments on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates the orbiter's HiRISE camera, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft.

Curiosity Has a Photo Day

Curiosity took a sol off from driving and spent time during the mission's Sol 25, on Aug. 31, 2012, taking images and collecting environmental monitoring data.

Imaging tasks for the sol included Navigation Camera sky observations to check for clouds, and Mast Camera imaging of the terrain eastward where the rover will be driving during the next few sols. In addition, the Mast Camera was used for taking a 360-degree panorama from the location that Curiosity reached by its Sol 24 drive.

Sol 25, in Mars local mean solar time at Gale Crater, ends at 11:59 p.m. Aug. 31, PDT.

My Life on Mars Time
Aug 31, 2012
By Bobak Ferdowsi

Curiosity's Beep
This image shows what the beep looks like once Curiosity sends back a confirmation to Earth that she received the information of what she will do on Mars for her current sol (Martian day).



Bobak Ferdowsi
Flight director, Bobak "Mohawk Guy" Ferdowsi, pays tribute to the rover's "footprint" by spelling out JPL in Morse code on his hairdo.

As I write this, we're in the morning of Sol 25, with our very healthy Curiosity rover sitting in Gale Crater doing a variety of opportunistic science today. We've just uploaded the daily sequences (our set of instructions for activities Curiosity must perform).

Let me begin by describing a typical day for Curiosity and me. Curiosity works during pretty normal hours (though maybe she wakes up a bit late), so typically most of the Martian day's activities take place from about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is so that 1) we have daylight for driving and taking pictures, etc. and 2) so we get our most critical activities done by the afternoon, when we talk to our two orbiting assets, Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The key there is that those orbiters give us much better data rates than our own smaller antenna to Earth (which is good, but takes a lot of power and time relatively speaking to get the same information back), and they get it back to us before we finalize completely what we're going to do the next sol (sol is just the word for Martian day). The result is that we know how Curiosity is doing and how well she did on yestersol's (yesterday's) activities before telling her the plan for the current sol.

А что это за три New Spots, кто как думает? :roll:

[Dude]

там упали части взорвавшегося Скайкрана, эти пятна "указывают" своей формой на точку его падения. И они "новые" в смысле отметки на этом снимке, на более ранней съемке ESP_028335_1755 они уже есть.

Скай-кран упал ЦЕЛИКОМ.

Место его падения - "чёрный трилистник", след от выброса топлива из треснувших баков и (или) от выхлопа из двигателей.
