New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1144, RMC 52.1950.
This may be the last location visible by #Ingenuity's RTE camera, as the rover has now reached the theoretical limit of its field-of-view (cyan line). The #MarsHelicopter has been programmed to capture one RTE image every sol for as long as it is able to wake up every sol perform its routine of gathering environmental and system data, as a stationary testbed.
New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1143, RMC 52.1700, presumably still within #Ingenuity's field-of-view. It appears there may be as many as 3 frames of the rover crossing the FOV of the color RTE camera of the #MarsHelicopter, now a stationary testbed collecting images, temperature and other data on a solly basis from its final location at Vallinor Hills.
#Perseverance moved to the center of the area which is most probably visible by #Ingenuity, and it could appear in one or more of the color RTE images the #MarsHelicopter is capturing every sol, if everything is going according to plan.
With the #QGIS Grant Programme 2023, we were able to support four proposals in the first round and an additional two proposals through the second round that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the proposals.
#Perseverance seems to be determined to reach Bright Angel as soon as possible, even if it has to do it in short drives every sol, through rocky ground.
If the #MarsHelicopter#Ingenuity does take an RTE picture every Martian morning as stated, then it will most probably capture the rover as it descends slowly the slope of Neretva riverbank. The only question then is when we will see those images.
Ab #QGIS 3.38 wird es möglich sein, den FEATURE_COUNT-Parameter für GetFeatureInfo-Requests für jede WMS-Verbindung zu definieren. Dieser gilt dann auch für vom #QGIS-Browser hinzugefügte WMS-Layer🚀
QGIS calculated a Modèle numérique de surface (MNS - the second image / digital surface model), and an elevation model. 🗺️
But there a problem : we don't have (yet), RGB colors in our lidar datas ! So, we can just color form the elevation. Not create a real image of the terrain, with threes, factories... sad.
New location for #Perseverance on Sol 1136, RMC 52.0606. If all goes smoothly, in two more similar drives the rover will be entering the field-of-view of #Ingenuity's RTE color camera, and Perseverance's team will have their last and only opportunity to have a picture of the rover captured from the ground of Mars, at least for the foreseeable future.
Who doesn't love a new data standard! Now you can access Met Office and other national weather service data in QGIS with the new EDR plugin provided by the Met Office in partnership with my colleagues at @lutraconsulting#gis#opensource#qgis
#Perseverance zoomed in on what appears to be the path forward on its way to Bright Angel. That area at the center where slope increases is approximately where the rover will enter the field-of-view of #Ingenuity's RTE camera, about 150m W from its current location.

The field-of-view of the Mastcam-Z camera when it captured the image above (green). The pale red ellipse is the approximate are where Perseverance will come into view of Ingenuity's RTE camera. The red ellipse is approx. the center of the image mentioned above. The dark area is where Ingenuity is hidden from the rover.
