I think the value of that razor sharp pan is considerable. Seeing the entire area in context to itself is really different than in seeing just segments of it. My impression all along was that landing site was pretty level all around, but it isn't. Looking at the whole thing you really see the dips and rises and and elevation changes and appreciate just how much topography is there. The site is FAR more interesting than it was 30+ years ago, LOL.

Thanks! It's nearly as cold as Mars here in Ontario this morning.

I like your panorama site / book. I really hope you get it published.

Merci 4th rock from the sun,
J'ai les dates (Sols) pour les expériences "Labeled Release" des Vikings, et je cherches celles pour les expériences de "Gas Exchange" et "Pyrolytic Release". J'aimerais bien pouvoir ajouter un tableaux qui résumerais bien toutes cette série d'expérience dans le livre et à la fin du chapitre sur les Panoramiques des Vikings ! Depuis le temps que je cherches ces informations sans les trouver !!! ________________________________________________________ Thank you 4th rock from the sun, I have dates ( Soils) for experiments " Labeled Release" of the Vikings, and I searched for those experiences " Gas Exchange " and " Pyrolytic Release" .

This gives some Gas Exchange information:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029...2i028p04669/pdf (if you have access) And this has information on the Pyrolytic Release (Carbon Assimilation) experiment: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029...2i028p04659/pdf Also, I have some information in text and tables in my International Atlas of Mars Exploration.

Does anybody know where I could learn what the final orientation of the Viking 2 high-gain antenna and surface sampler boom housing were when its batteries died?
I am attempting to align a 3D-model of the lander created by n1ckdrake with PSP_001976_2280. Knowing the position of these moving parts would help make the match. I have tilted the lander 8.2° down in the direction specified by the "Generalized Working Map of Sample Field" and matched the virtual camera orientation with the emission angle of HiRise. Attached is a current best-fit. Any suggestions for improvements? |

The sampler was last used on sol 958, and as far as I can tell it was fully retracted with the housing facing pretty much straight ahead. Looking quickly at images taken after that date, that is my impression.
I don't know about the HGA, but if it ran searches for Earth after loss of communication (which I assume might be possible) we wouldn't know its orientation. It is small enough that it's not going to make any difference to your fit. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Comparing with a model (found here):
Two cameras seem clearly visible, HGA seems to be turned. Probabliy legs are drifted by sand. |

Phil and others interested in Viking, we are (slowly) curating the largest (and growing) collection of original Viking artifacts, documents, images, etc...
The purpose is to educate the public AND provide access to preserve the history, engineering, science, and artifacts, and to prevent further loss and inaccessibility, of the same. You can see a tiny bit of our curated materials on our website, Facebook and Twitter. Let us know if you have particular interest areas and keep in touch. We will showcase individuals work using Viking materials, as well as making the originals available for research and non commercial use. Rachel Tillman Daughter of Viking, James E.
