Curious and interesting stones (1) - Sol 652
|
Latest update from the Mission Control:"Spirit is healthy and the Team operated in "restricted Sols" from Sol 647 to 654.
(Restricted Sols occur when the timing of the communications pass from the Odyssey orbiter is too late in the day to gather vital location and health information about the Rover after it executed recent commands. The Team back on Earth must wait until the next Sol to find out where and how the Rover is).
The Team planned two long Mössbauer integrations and drove 34 meters (112 feet). On Soles 653 and 654, the Team planned targeted remote sensing of the "East Basin". This is one of the last opportunities to image it before the basin is no longer in sight.
Spirit also completed three overnight observations. The Team returns to standard planning sols the week of Nov. 7, intending to continue driving downhill".
