Here is the view in the drive direction on Sol 1051.
Taken with the L2 Pancam.

Here is the linked images from the map.

That's exciting! A Cape lower than the others will allowed a nice "from the sky" view.

Thanks Tesheiner.

Just saw the plan for the next sols and there are more image targets before moving ahead (btw, no driving plan yet).

I'm amazed by this work, my wild dream is now about entire Mars atlas like this...

Right, Tesh, do the codes tell you what is happening at Catarina. I hope we're Ratting and doing spectroscopy; I'm aching to see what's under the dust.

During a routine imaging session on New Year's Day (sol 1045), Opportunity detected a stall in the grind motor of the rock abrasion tool. Subsequent diagnostic tests found no obstructions. More diagnostics were planned for sol 1049 (Jan. 5, 2007).

Random (& probably completely unoriginal) thought here, but what are the odds that a significant fraction of ALL the cobbles Oppy has seen in Merdiani are actually meteorites? After all, the richest 'meteorite-mining' areas on Earth are North Africa & Antarctica, which both feature homogeneous, fine-grained native surface materials.

If this conjecture is accurate, then Meridiani may be a true scientific treasure trove in yet another sense.

You know, this one/month "big" crater formation detected by MGS could lead to quite a lot of "smaller size" meteorids to fall on Mars frequently. The surface of Mars is quite undisturbed for eons, so, a place like Meridiani with only a few natives rocks around should be a paradise, you're right. I wonder if we can put these two issues together and start some statitics of meteroids numbers from small to crater-doing size.

So I think we can be fairly sure that Oppy is in the process of doing a lengthy Mössbauer integration on Santa Catarina at the moment. Just more pancam targets for tosol so looks like there is still a while to go yet...

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE: Opportunity Studies Unusual Rocks on Rim of 'Victoria Crater' - sol 1043-1048, January 05, 2007:


Opportunity continued scientific studies of a rock called "Santa Catarina" on the rim of "Victoria Crater." Scientists suspect that Santa Catarina may be a meteorite or a rock blasted out from beneath the surface of Victoria. Opportunity collected extensive measurements to determine the iron content of the rock using the Mössbauer spectrometer and will continue to do so during the coming week.

Here is an updated "map" of the targets on the current site. Did some corrections too, because I thought all names were related to cities but few of them are of Santa Catarina's rivers.

There's a Mafra in Brasil Tesh? That I didn't knew...

If they keep the current naming pattern we may find one of these in the following sols before moving for good.

You'd bite a meteorite ...

Agree. It's also noted on the last status report:

Looks to me like it’s just a dead crow.

Updated the polar map with the latest targets "Videira" and "Chapecó".

Just checked the planned sequences for sol 1055 (tomorrow): MI and drive. Finally!

After wrapping up scientific studies of a rock called "Santa Catarina" on the rim of "Victoria Crater," Opportunity determined, based on analysis of the iron content, that the rock is probably a meteorite. Nearby cobbles appear to have similar composition, based on data from the Mössbauer spectrometer, panoramic camera, and miniature thermal emission spectrometer.

Also on sol 1049, Opportunity performed additional diagnostic tests of the grinding motor that operates the rock abrasion tool. All signs point to a failed encoder. Rover handlers must now invent a new strategy for using the brush and grinder that does not rely on the encoder to sense when the device comes into contact with a rock surface. Team members anticipate they will be able to use the rock abrasion tool again in a few weeks.
