Spirit Update:
Spirit is currently in a challenging sandy terrain attempting to brush and RAT a rock named Wishstone over the weekend. The slippage experienced during a Sol 332 drive was more than 90% (1 meter traveled vs. 9 meters sequenced). The right front wheel is drawing normal current again--it is no longer experiencing larger than normal current draw. The theory is that the rest period at West Spur allowed the lubrication to redistribute. They probably pushed Spirit too hard earlier After working with Wishstone, Spirit will then attempt to reach a ridge called Larry's Lookout to look for interesting science targets. Some interesting maps follow. This may be the most accurate map yet (the one posted at JPL site had several inconsistencies). Also a view of looking back and a view of Wishstone. Sorry about the width of the image, but I think it's worth panning left to right to see the full path... Link to Wishbone image |
