Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 16, 2010 Opportunity drove five times in the past week, crossing 22 kilometers (13.67 miles) of total odometry. The rover drove on Sols 2322, 2324, 2326, 2327 and 2328 (Aug. 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11), totaling over 350 meters (1,148 feet). The rover has been driving with long (approximately 70 meters, 230 feet) commanded drives followed by short drive segments of autonomous navigation (AutoNav) to extend the drive distance each sol. On Sol 2325 (Aug. 8, 2010) another Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science (AEGIS) autonomous science observation was performed. This time the algorithm did not identify any scientifically interesting targets in the collected images. As of Sol 2328 (Aug. 11, 2010), solar array energy production was 528 watt-hours with atmospheric opacity (Tau) of 0.460 and the solar array dust factor of 0.750. Total odometry is 22,309.05 meters (22.31 kilometers, or 13.86 miles).

Spirit In Sweep And Beep ModePasadena CA (JPL) Aug 09, 2010 Spirit remains silent at her location called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). It is likely that Spirit has experienced a low-power fault and has turned off all sub-systems, including communication and gone into a deep sleep, trying to recharge her batteries. There is the additional risk that the rover ... read more |
