Mars mobl0g: amazing photos beamed home
from NASA Spirit
01/04/2004 11:59 PM

Now *that* is a photoblog. Chronologically indexed gallery of interplanetary snapshots from this weekend's Mars landing. The first images sent back are of limited quality -- and only in black and white -- because data transmission rate from Spirit's antenna back to Earth is limited. Higher-res color images are expected to be relayed back from the orbiting Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey Spacecraft later today, according to Mission Control. At left:

"This mosaic image taken by the navigation camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has been further processed, resulting in a significantly improved 360 degree panoramic view of the rover on the surface of Mars."

Link to NASA's Mars moblog, li nk to full-size, 360-degree composite panorama image. Link to SF Chron story with details on the image transmission process. (Thanks, Warren)

Jeff Jarvis calls it anonymous instant photophone moblogging, a phrase which is giving me a heavy wallop of jargon vertigo right about now.

NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up


NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up 08/13/2004 10:55 AM
Spirit, one of two NASA robots currently exploring Mars has exceeded its life span and is showing signs of wear, but it's still running and still sending back new photos. A new Nature article describes the aging rover's biggest problems: the batteries are running low due to weak winter sunlight and the gearbox on right front wheel has developed a fault. NASA engineers have instructured the rover to drive backwards, which reduces the excessive current being drawn by the front wheel. The weak light on Mars now allows only enough battery power for an hour or two of activity each day. Mars and Earth will be out of communications for a week around September 10 and the current plan is to have Spirit hibernate all week while it's batteries recharge. Despite the problems Spirit has traveled over 3 kilometers from its landing site and is now halfway up the 200 meter-high Columbia Hills.
