SOL1811-PIA11798.jpgDusty Solar Panels - Sol 181159 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took this image using the left eye of its NavCam during the 1811th Martian Day, or Sol, of Spirit's mission on Mars (such as February 5, 2009). Contrast has been stretched to make dust on the Solar Panels more easily visible.
Engineering data from Spirit's power subsystem indicated that some dust blew off the Rover's Solar Array on the following day, Sol 1812 (such as February 6, 2009).
This image and one from Sol 1813 (such as February 7, 2009 - PIA11799) provide a before-and-after comparison of the dust visible on Spirit's rear Solar Array. The reduction in the dust coating is difficult to discern in the images. The Cleaning Event was detected by a change in electrical output from the Solar Panels.
Spirit's daily energy supply from the solar array increased by about 30 watt-hours, to about 240 watt-hours from 210 watt-hours. (Thirty watt-hours is enough to illuminate a 30 watt bulb for one hour.) Before the Sol 1812 cleaning, only 25% of sunlight hitting the array was getting past the dust to be used by the photovoltaic cells. That factor improved to 28% after the Cleaning Event.
Spirit took this image at about 14:49 MLT at Spirit's location inside Gusev Crater. The Rover's position was next to the Northern Edge of the low plateau called "Home Plate", visible beyond the Solar Panels".MareKromium

Non sembra anche a Voi che ci sia una sorta di "ordine" in quel "disegno" che hanno tracciato davanti ad Opportunity?

OPP-SOL1826-1827-1828-2.jpgPossible Secondary Crater near Victoria Crater (Resolution Crater) - Sol 1826 up to 1828 (Photo-composite Panorama - Natural Colors; credits: Dr. G. Barca)59 visiteLa NASA dice che "Resolution Crater" è un modesto Cratere Primario; secondo noi, invece, si tratta di un discreto Cratere Secondario (ossìa un cratere generato da un ejecta proveniente dal vicinissimo Victoria Crater). La Verità? La "Versione NASA", ovviamente, va preferita.
Ma quale sia la reale l'origine del Resolution Crater, a nostro modo di vedere - e considerati tutti gli elementi disponibili -, è e resterà comunque un interrogativo aperto.MareKromium
