SOU-SOL006-81225_full.jpgRocky Panorama (2) - Sol 677 visiteOriginal caption:"An area of very rocky terrain at the Ares Vallis Landing Site, along with the Lander's deflated airbags, were imaged by the IMP before its deployment on Sol 2. The high-contrast objects at lower right are portions of the Lander and its deflated airbags".Ago 29, 2005

SOU-SOL006-81204_full.jpgRocky Panorama (1) - Sol 666 visiteUno splendido panorama, con le solite imperfezioni (ma, per fortuna, di rilievo trascurabile questa volta) ed i soliti errori nella fase - riteniamo che sia comunque la più semplice in assoluto - di 'incollaggio' dei diversi frames che poi formeranno la fotografia completa. Molto interessanti alcuni rilievi, alti e squadrati, che sembrano caratterizzare la sommità delle colline che si vedono in lontananza (ma l'ipotesi più probabile è che si tratti di photo-artifacts).
Caption originale:"Mars Pathfinder's forward rover ramp can be seen successfully unfurled in this color image, taken on Sol 3. This ramp was not used for the deploymentof the microrover Sojourner, which occurred at the end of Sol 2. When this image was taken, Sojourner was still latched to one of the lander's petals, waiting for the command sequence that would execute its descent off of the lander's petal. The image helped Pathfinder scientists determine whether to deploy the rover using the forward or backward ramps and the nature of the first rover traverse. The metallic object at the lower part of the image is the lander's low-gain antenna. The square at the end of the ramp is one of the spacecraft's magnetic targets. Dust that accumulates on the magnetic targets will later be examined by Sojourner's Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer instrument for chemical analysis. At center, a lander petal is visible".Ago 29, 2005

SOU-SOL005-81097_full.jpgCasper - Sol 580 visiteOriginal caption:"Casper, the light colored rock in the middle left of this image, is a prime target for the APXS. The disturbed soil in the lower right of this image was caused by the retraction of the airbags".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL005-81093_full.jpgWedge & Flat Top - Sol 592 visiteCaption originale:"Here we see the rocks named Wedge and Flat Top imaged in natural colors as part of the so-called Monster Panorama".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL005-81101_full.jpgThe ASI-MAST - Sol 580 visiteCaption originale:"The Atmospheric Structure/Meterology Instrument MAST is standing straight up in this image. The wind socks are hanging vertically, indicating that the winds are light. ASI/MET scientists report that winds measurements have yet to exceed 10 mph. The apprent offset of the MAST in this image is caused by parallax".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL004-81006_full.jpgFlat Top - Sol 4105 visiteOriginal caption:"In this image is the rectangular rock dubbed "Flat Top" by Pathfinder scientists. The surface of this rock appears to be covered by dust".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL004-81015_full.jpgBarnacle Bill - Sol 483 visiteOriginal caption:"This frame shows portions of Sojourner's Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS), a deployment spring and the rock Barnacle Bill. The image was taken by Sojourner's Rear Camera, and shows that the APXS made good contact with Barnacle Bill".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL003-81010_full.jpgCouch Rock - Sol 3100 visiteOriginal caption:"This new view of the rock dubbed "Couch" was taken by the deployed Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) on Sol 3.
Earlier images, taken by the undeployed IMP, hinted that Couch was balanced upon the rectangular rock approximately three-quarters of the way up from the bottom of the image. The deployed IMP, standing 1,8 meters above the Martian surface, has now revealed Couch to be a free-standing object positioned at the Martian horizon".Ago 20, 2005

SOU-SOL003-81009_full.jpgYogi on Mars! - Sol 3102 visiteOriginal caption:"Yogi, a rock taller than Rover Sojourner, is the subject of this image, taken by the deployed Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) on Sol 3 (but received on Earth during Sol 4). The soil in the foreground will be the location of multiple soil mechanics experiments performed by Sojourner's cleated wheels. Pathfinder scientists will be able to control the force inflicted on the soil beneath the Rover's wheels, giving them insight into the soil's mechanical properties".Ago 20, 2005
