In case you missed it there's 9 minutes on MSL (actual hardware visible) + 5 minutes with Dr Elachi on "This week in Space" there: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
14 minutes out of 23 regarding Unmanned, not bad. -------------------- |

So you think they're using it too quickly? Where is your MTBF number to suggest that's the case? 500,000 pulses is 'a lot of operation' ?
MOLA fired 390,000,000+ times in its primary mission. What is it that makes you think the ChemCam team are going to do more with the laser than it is designed to do, or that they have designed it to do less than is required? In short - what are you going on about? |
