Erebus' surroundings: panorama from Sol 616 (1)
|
NASA - Official Status Report:"Opportunity is continuing to travel westward around Erebus Crater. The Rover completed a 26,18-meter (about 86-foot) drive on Sol 608 (Oct. 9, 2005) with very little slip. On Sol 610, the team planned another drive, but the spacecraft experienced a software reset at about 9:20 a.m., MLT. That deactivated all sequences and left the spacecraft in automode before the Sol 610 master sequence was active. On Sol 611, the team sent a recovery sequence to reestablish a master sequence and reinitialize the PanCam mast assembly state (the position of the Rover's "head"). The team received confirmation of success. The Sol 612 plan included another attempt to do the drive originally planned for Sol 610. However, the master sequence for Sol 612 was not received properly by the spacecraft because of bad pointing or weather. So, the run-out plan from Sol 611 was executed".
