- Trying to get the rovers up and running on their own Twitter. They'll post to @marsrovers (not to be confused with @marsrover, a fan site) about 1 hour ago
- Lots of work planned for labor day weekend: more digging at Stone Soup, a delivery to the MECA chem lab, and practice moving ice samples. about 1 hour ago
- Phoenix followers at Unmannedspaceflight.com do wonderful things with my images, here's their latest thread: http://tinyurl.com/6bgy48 03:51 PM August 26, 2008
- I saw this beautiful sunrise yestersol: http://tinyurl.com/55zoce Bittersweet, as it means an end to midnight sun in the Martian arctic. 03:35 PM August 26, 2008
- @Space_cOOp the marsrover account is not being done by the mission. There is incorrect information on it. 11:42 AM August 26, 2008
- @LusciousPurple A lot of accounts, including on LJ, have been set up in their names, but those are NOT being done by the real rover team. 11:40 AM August 26, 2008
- There's no dust storm threatening the rovers. I've been after Spirit and Oppy to start their own Twitter with updates. Like soon. :-) 11:11 AM August 26, 2008
- My Martian-time clock is here http://is.gd/lFa (near bottom) @girlboymusic. Or download your own very cool Mars sunclock: http://is.gd/1UYC 11:29 PM August 25, 2008
- @Toph Spirit and Oppy made it through winter because they're located very close to the Martian equator & get more sunshine for solar power. 11:20 PM August 25, 2008
- @markdavidson Thanks. That was for Scott Maxwell, the team lead of rover drivers for Spirit & Opportunity (they don't have a Twitter..yet). 11:14 PM August 25, 2008
- @Alpinemaps It's the Martian arctic/northern plains. Team nicknamed the site "green valley" because green meant is was a safe spot to land. 11:01 PM August 25, 2008
- @gamers600 It's just after 11am here, so it should reach a nice high temp of -27 C (-16.6F). The lows are around -83 (-117.4). 10:41 PM August 25, 2008
- @AngelMercury I had to land in the far north to study the ice. Even if I had wheels, I couldn't travel far enough to get out of the Arctic. 09:35 PM August 25, 2008
- @wallet55 It's more likely I'll lose the sunlight before the CO2 ice reaches here. 09:31 PM August 25, 2008
- @_OM_ The troughs appear to be loose material for now- haven't seen an ice wedge yet. It'll be fun to dig deeper (I can dig 50 cm/20 inches) 09:30 PM August 25, 2008
- The cracks in the frozen ground can fill with loose material. The next chemistry sample will come from this deeper hole: http://is.gd/1Uxb 04:21 PM August 25, 2008
- I'm reaching new depths. Digging in a trough between two "polygons" (cracked terrain) I've dug 18 cm (7 in) deep without hitting hard ice. 04:18 PM August 25, 2008
- Right now I'm a very healthy spacecraft. I delivered a new sample of soil to the TEGA oven, and baking may begin on Friday. 10:58 PM August 21, 2008
- The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will monitor the encroaching ice cap from above, @BrianFinifter. I won't see it (darkness will get me first) 10:54 PM August 21, 2008
