The rover paused over the weekend to take a closer look at its solar panels and magnets. Spirit arrived at Backstay on Tuesday (June 7, 2005), and has performed a small microscopic image mosaic, rock abrasion tool brush, and Moessbauer spectrometer integration on the rock. Over the weekend (of June 11-12, 2005), the rover will finish robotic arm work and drive on toward the next target. Sol Details: Sol 504: remote sensing/atmospheric science. Sol 505: robotic arm work: microscopic image of solar panel and magnets, and Moessbauer spectrometer on capture magnet, targeted remote sensing. Sol 506: continue Moessbauer on magnets, targeted remote sensing. Sol 507: drive about 4 meters (about 13 feet) to Backstay. Sol 508: Bump forward to Backstay. Sol 509: robotic arm work on Backstay: microscopic image pre- and post-brush, Moessbauer integration. Sol 510: continue Moessbauer, "Tennessee Valley Panorama," targeted miniature thermal emission spectrometer. Total Odometry: 4404.37 meters (2.73 miles). Received on Tue 14 Jun 2005 11:03:12 AM PDT |
