Photo Diary
(Click Image for Detailed View)

Nathan watches over Boudreaux (the ERA robot), ready to flip the emergency switch if it gets into trouble. Notice the tracks to which Boudreaux headed and then scooted around.

Back in the Hab, Kim talks to Nathan, as she monitors the signal and the robot's path.

Jeff indicates where Boudreaux is headed, using the live video projected to the Hab from the robot.

Ricks uses software on a PDA to monitor the MEX signal between the base antenna at the Hab and the ATV, which serves as a relay to Boudreaux.

Kim, Jeff, Ron, and MIke (holding a hat) confer about Boudreaux's traverse under Mobile Agents control, while Brent, Abby, and Maarten review the panoramas coming in from the robot.

This is that -- Brent and Abby relate their maps and diagrams to the panoramas.

Maarten refers to the projected panorama, while Abby and Brent try to relate features to their large aerial photo.

Meanwhile, John works quietly on the side, improving the voice commanding system, as the dinner he prepared simmers in the slow cooker.
