Another of Moomaw's excellent newsy articles! About MER site selection...

About the site-selection changes for the MERs, due to:
1) Windiness at some of the A-list LZs, and
2) Some equipment coming out underweight, permitting more fuel.

How do the experts feel about the exclusions and inclusions? Nick? Alex? Anyone?

My personal wish (yah: stupid, selfish, short-sighted) is that the scenery not be boring, this time!

        Quite an indictment! You should probably study up on the MER mission, a bit, before you press on with it, though. n/t (n/t) - alcaray - 4/10/2002 10:14:11 AM
