  1. Here is some updated MSL traverse information from MSL Deputy Project Scientist Joy Crisp: (1) Approximate location maps are posted here - these will be updated more frequently, now that the rover has started its trek to Mount Sharp http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/mission/whereistherovernow/ (2) The validated SPICE data archived in the Planetary Data System provides the rover location information based on telemetry (archived in 90-sol batches ~ 6 months after receipt of data on the Earth). These data are included in the MSL SPICE archive available in the NAIF node holdings: http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/data_archived.html To figure out how to use these data, you would have to copy the whole or a subset of the archive to your computer and study the archive documentation and the general information (tutorials, lessons) on the NAIF web site http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov (3) Unvalidated operations SPICE data files, providing up to the current Sol information, can be found here: http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/MSL/kernels/ Note however that the data in (2) and (3) can be off by a few meters or even few tens of meters from the actual position, which can be determined by careful manual examination of images from the rover and comparison to orbital images.

  13. Jun, We have forwarded your questions to the CRISM team and will post their response as soon as it's available. Jennifer
  14. A new batch of data has been added to the Earth-based S-band Lunar Radar dataset available on the PDS Geosciences Node web site at http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/sband/index.htm. This data set contains dual-polarization backscatter maps of the lunar nearside collected at a wavelength of 12.6 cm (S-band), using the 305 m Radio Telescope at Arecibo to transmit and the NRAO's 105 m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to receive. The data were provided by Bruce Campbell of the Smithsonian Institution's Center for Earth and Planetary Studies and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.
  15. The MER Analyst's Notebook has been updated with data from release 34, containing data from sols 2881 to 2970 for the Opportunity rover.
  16. The MER Analyst's Notebook has been updated with data from release 33, containing data from sols 2791 to 2880 for the Opportunity rover.
  17. The Virtual Astronaut (VA) is an interactive 3D environment created using multi-source and multi-instrument data from orbital and landed missions. The VA allows you to explore and view the Martian landscape as an astronaut cooperatively working with a rover, and to better understand and visualize the geomorphic and geologic contexts of Mars. As a 3D visualization tool, the VA supports navigation through the virtual environment with a mouse, keyboard shortcuts, or a gamepad. A virtual astronaut can walk across the Martian surface or control a rover driving along a path taken by Opportunity. The scene is created with multiple image mosaics overlain on a digital elevation model. You may adjust the contrast of the scene, change the terrain, make measurements, and visit targets where Opportunity performed in-situ measurements. The first release of the Virtual Astronaut is a prototype study of Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity's Santa Maria campaign. Santa Maria is an impact crater on Mars that is about 90 meters in diameter and is located at 2.172° S, 5.445° W in Meridiani Planum. The crater sits northwest of the larger Endeavour Crater. Before resuming its long-term trek toward Endeavour, Opportunity investigated Santa Maria from December 16, 2010 to March 22, 2011 (Martian days, sols 2451-2545). The VA for Cape York, a small rocky island sitting on the northwest rim of Endeavour Crater, is also under development. The Virtual Astronaut runs within web browsers on Windows and Mac OS X computers with at least 2 GB of RAM, preferably with dedicated video memory. The Unity Web Player plug-in is required (freely available online). Additional information on recommended system specifications is in the User's Manual. The VA was developed at the Geosciences Node of NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and can be accessed at: http://va.rsl.wustl.edu
  18. New and revised LRO LEND data products from the LAUNCH through COMMISSIONING mission phases are now available. The data are available from the Geosciences Node at: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lro/lend.htm. See errata.txt for details.
  19. The target searches have arrived. Enjoy! --- Jennifer
  20. The MER Analyst's Notebook has been updated with data from release 32, containing data from sols 2701 to 2790 for the Opportunity rover. New Features: 1. Target Search. Search for targets by name, sol, or site and position, and plot them on locator frames. Targets can be found in the Sol Summaries as well as under the "Search" tab. Note that targets have only been released through sol 2654. The target list has been minimally processed and may contain errors. 2. Integrated Mosaics. Mosaics are now integrated with data and documents in the Sol Summaries.
  21. Phil, We intend to add target searches with the upcoming release, which is May 29. Thanks, Jennifer
  22. A new earth-based lunar radar altimetry map is now available: http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/lram/index.htm This dataset contains digital elevation models (DEMs) of the lunar south pole. Elevation data at 200 pixels per degree of latitude (~150 m spatial resolution) were obtained with radar interferometry from the Goldstone Solar System Radar and calibrated with Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter laser altimetry data. The data were provided by Michael Busch and Jean-Luc Margot of the University of California, Los Angeles, and archived by the PDS Geosciences Node.
  23. Gousheng, I have forwarded your questions to the CRISM team and will post their response as soon as it's available. Thank you, Jennifer
