Opportunity begins a VERY careful "rollout"
|
Caption NASA originale:"Opportunity rotated its wheels on Sol 463 for the first time since the Rover dug itself into a sand dune more than 2 weeks earlier. The wheels made about 2 and 1/2 rotations, as commanded, and the results were a good match for what was expected from tests on Earth. In the loose footing, the rover advanced 2,8 cm (about 1,1") forward, 4,8 mm (about 0,19") sideways and 4,6 mm (about 0,18") downward.
After further analysis of the results, the Rover Team will decide whether to repeat the same careful movement again on Sol 465. Meanwhile Opportunity's main tasks for Sol 464 were remote-sensing observations".
