Images from yesterday has been analyzed. The overall appearance of the
surrounding is unchanged. Even chipped small pebbles could be found at
the very same place as 2 years ago. Salt precipitation patterns,
shrinkage cracks, grass patches were found to remain in the same place
in the same extent as 2 years ago.
There are some minor changes though: rocks rolling to their other side,
landslides etc.
Today more images were taken, esp. at the Toothy Ridge area. It is very
hard to find exactly the same 3D position to take the picture, even if
we take them in printed form: it is difficult to see properly the
display of the camera, and lenses also may be different.
Husar 2D has been repaired and tuned on in the field for test
transmissions. With the help of our guest from the AustroMars research
habitat, we - he and our Engineer - managed to repair the Husar rover
that did not work 100% yesterday so it has now broadcasted images. The
problem was with the accus, so now there is a heavy accu attached to
it, making the rover unable to move.
