Does anyone have any images or drawings of what the component looked like here when it was being built? |

For graphics, why not start at the offical rover site itself?
A nice little graphic here explaining the backshell and heatshield: http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/missi...shell1_500.jpg A good photo showing the mated heatshield/backshell configuration (the heatshield is the tannish-colored structure at the very top): http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/missi...ecraft_br.html There is also the gallery at : http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/spacecraft/ Mind the wordwrap. -Mike |

Looks like the photos on marsrover.jpl.nasa.gov have "caught up" with
your alternate site, Jim -- check out Raw Images - Opportunity - Panoramic Camera - Sol 322 -- these are the same shots you posted. Doesn't look like it made much of a crater (compared to Stardust... of course, it wasn't as dense or heavy). Maybe we hit the only rock for miles, and it's leaning up against it... -- Reed Snellenberger GPG KeyID: 5A978843 rsnellenberger-at-houston.rr.com |

Hi Jim and Jon I wonder how fast a 100 gallon block of ice can be
turned to steam??? We know it will stay at 32F until the last of the ice has melted.(I some times wonder if that is true at a very high temperature. Always liked water to radiate(transfer) heat. Bert |
