Two images of one of Curiosity Rover's wheels acquired 13 months apart. These show that the wheel wear has slowed dramatically.

Any idea where JPL have moved the Mars mission maps to? The old URL for M20 and MSL are broken. They have just reformatted a number of mission pages (raw images, home pages etc), but I cant find the new URLs for the maps...

After your deep dive into Mars dates/time, are you aware of a method of calculating the sol for a given mission that's based on current Earth date/time [=NOW()].

It's something I would like to build into a spreadsheet, so any tips would be appreciated.

Another drive from Perseverance rover takes it to site 52.0870 during Sol 1138 (May 3, 2024).

EDIT - The rover has not yet reached the downslope, see recent post by @65dBnoise

Attached is a roughly processed 16-tile NavCam image acquired at the end of the drive. NASA/JPL-Caltech

A look at a small section of Curiosity's workspace in this composite image assembled from 4 Bayer reconstructed R-MastCam frames that were assembled in MS-ICE. The images are from December 27, 2023 (sol 4049) at site 105/1108 after a short drive/climb a few sols earlier. The rover is located at the head of Gediz Vallis (see map) I've also attached the drive data. Image credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/USGS/fredk)

Mars: Ingenuity helicopter flight #70 is in the books.

Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has completed its 62nd flight. Here's a processed RTE image acquired during the flight looking Northeast and featuring 'Jurabi Point' (a future science stop for the rover). The flight was on October 12th (Sol 940) and landed at ~10:25am local time, indicating a very healthy charge in the helicopters batteries. The helicopter landed ~25 meters NE of airfield Tau.

NASA's Viking mission landed two spacecraft on Mars in 1976, Viking landers 1 and 2. This video by Tom Dahl describes the lander's Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs).

Have you ever found a JSON file for the M20 Raw images?

I've used this one for MSL, but can't find one for M20

A closer look at the tailings (cuttings) around Curiosity Rover's latest sample drill hole 'Ubajara'. This processed image is from one of the rover's science cameras (R-MastCam) and was acquired on mission sol 3823 (May 9, 2023) at site 101/774, that's over 10 years and 9 months after landing on Mars. These sample holes have a diameter of about 1.6 centimeters (5/8th inch)

First spotted by Ingenuity, now Perseverance.

Mars Guy Episode 118:

This video contains scenes of spacecraft debris in pristine Martian landscapes that some may find disturbing and need not watch. For everyone else, the latest sighting may trigger curiosity and a sense of wonder.

Curiosity's workspace after a bump (short drive) on August 21, 2023 / sol 3924. This mosaic was assembled from 6 overlapping Bayer reconstructed L-MastCam images. It covers an area about 2 meters (~6 feet) across. The mosaic features some small boulders from the Gediz Vallis ridge. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk

Mars Rocks!
These are from Gale crater, snapped by Curiosity rover on August 18, 2023 (Sol 3921) using its 100mm mast camera. Each of the processed mosaics are assembled from overlapping Bayer reconstructed frames and document a new region that is thought to contain some materials that have been washed down from Gediz Vallis.

Deep into image withdrawal symptoms... 🙃

Rover Issues?
Software update?
DSN issues?
Bug?
None of the above?

#libreoffice is there a forum where I can post questions relating to 'Calc' functions. Hoping to move away from G-Sheets.

Another drive by Perseverance rover on sol 1137, takes the rover further West to site number 52.0748. This L-NavCam was assembled and roughly processed using all 16 available tiles (edited as the tiles are now in)
