Maybe Ginny dropped a contact lens or something there, on flight 62?

@tom30519 🤣 If on Sol 907 it didn't find the other one it lost, then Ingenuity is toast.

It happens to coincide with #Ingenuity's #Flight62 target area:

@65dBnoise The point-to-point drive distance was only 18.69 meters, yet the traverse clocked up 136.39 meters. Maybe using the ground radar?

Let's stick a #PDSAnalystNotebook tag here so we can find it in the next PDS update. Speaking of which, isn't it about time for a new one?

@PaulHammond51
I scanned through the new PDS data. Most (all?) of the strange paths the rover has taken, which I marked for review, have been due to RIFMAX and/or AutoNav being engaged.

@tom30519
Well, that "A" was AutoNav writing its initial on the surface of Mars 🤣 No RIFMAX to blame this time.

@65dBnoise @tom30519

I can predict a future tweak to those algorithms 🤣🤣🤣

@PaulHammond51 @tom30519
I bet someone hacked the AutoNav software to do that 🤣 Maybe we should start looking for other such grafiti made by AutoNav on Mars? 😆

PaulHammond51, 22 days ago

@65dBnoise @tom30519 There's likely one or two better graffiti examples 😆

@65dBnoise @PaulHammond51
Lessee... who on the rover team has a name that starts with the initial 'A'?

65dBnoise, 22 days ago

@tom30519 @PaulHammond51
That one was artificially intelligent AutoNav deciding for itself 🙃

tom30519, 22 days ago

@65dBnoise @PaulHammond51
Wait... AutoNav starts with 'A'. Hmmm.

PaulHammond51, 22 days ago

@tom30519 @65dBnoise

Is AutoNav running on a 'Skynet' processor? 🤣🤣🤣

PaulHammond51, 22 days ago

@tom30519 @65dBnoise

Could be a sports fan, IIRC there are a few teams that use a letter A in their logo ;)

Oh, yes! New PDS data release was on 27 Nov 2023!

Includes #Mars2020 Sols up to 899.

@65dBnoise AutoNav having a bad day (again?) ;)
