A little OT here but,
Anyone know when the next Nasa MER broadcast will be? Seems they are making their press briefings fewer and fewer. I've been to both the Nasa TV page and C-Span and can't find much. Any other sites keeping up to date on the briefings, that anyone knows of?
Next conference should be Thursday.
Check the [http://spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/statustextonly.html]Spaceflight Now Status Page for concise explanations of the press briefs and notifications of the next ones.
For only a few $$ membership (monthly, yearly, etc.) you can download all of the press briefings (and more) as Quicktime movies too!
There are others who transcribe the briefings as well in their blogs, such as [http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/]Adot's Notblog.
Lots of good information (including these and many more links) available at:

Take a look at this [http://www.marsunearthed.com/Opportunit … y15_3D.htm]Spherule 3-D Anaglyph. Grab your red/blue glasses, and you will see a closeup of a spherule in 3-D, as seen by Opportunity's Microscopic Imager.

In case y'all are interested in how that dirt picture came to be, here is a very detailed and interesting

This is another fairly [http://www.planetary.org/mars/mer-inst-mi.html]technical overview of the MI from Planetary Society.

#5 Re: Unmanned probes » Which Mars site has you more interested? - Gusev Crater or Meridiani Planum » 2004-01-26 01:21:11
Here's some more info on the landing sites. Personally, I'd like a summer home by Gusev to take advantage of the lake, but probably like to live and work closer to the Planum.
