Love that game. Scratches this itch.

I see the raw image of the week is a close up of that window. Was there any discussion about what they were looking for? Or is this just routine?

Where are we going in such a hurry. I'm sure breaking records for Martian land speed.
Also, Thanks for posting all this information and keeping us up to date, Thanks to Paul too! You both do a lot for this community and lurkers like me appreciate it!

I can see that and it made me laugh. That game is so much fun and so addictive.

Give Me My Science Back, OR Give Me The Death Of Shared Knowledge. (lemmy.world)
 

I'm just so aggravated right now with the loss of even more web resources. Now it's the DSN . I get 404 now and lost the Mars world map with all the current missions and their relationships. I can still see the antennas but now mars actual at 2020 or Curiosity is gone. I've looked for hours for it. Last year we lost the three dimensional rover you could drill down on to get extended information about science and engineering payloads. We lost the scrolling banner at the top of many Mars page's that gave current blog, or mission articles, news, etc. now we have to dig to get it, except for here. With out this community (Paul and Special) we would be completely lost. I truly hope we don't loose the location map or raw image server.

Thanks Paul!! This is great information. I eat this stuff up and I am happily exploring the new quadrant themes.

What are the current quadrants naming conventions or terrestrial region? It's fun exploring the regions on line. There's a lot of history in these names.

What's coming up on CacheCam? Did they sample? (lemmy.world)

Here’s what the Perseverance rover has learned so far (Catch up on the Mars 2020 mission in 2023.) in c/perseverancerover@lemmy.world

So they're going for another Three Forks style sample drop when they reach the rim? What are the pros and cons of that?
