It would seem bigger, but this is imaged with a wide angle lens. The lander has a lot more cameras, I’m sure we’ll get some better shots of Earth and a nice panorama of the lander’s surroundings in the coming days It’s mission will only last 60 days, so they have a lot to do in a short time.

I really admired and miss that guy.

I’ve had times when I felt I was shouting in the dark on a number of different platforms over the years, but those community don’t last long as they usually grow. The Mars communities here on Lemmy have grown nicely since I came over here from Reddit. I’m sort of paying it forward for all those that preceded me that gave me joy in the late 50’s and 60’s when I was young developing space nerd. I simply gather the data / images to satisfy my own curiosity. Sharing it with a few like minded souls, is only but a few clicks in this digital age :)

Just sharing the passion :)

MSR is expected to have up to 2 Ingenuity class helicopters. Each will be equipped with small wheels on each landing leg (for driving up to sample tubes) and have a small robotic arm (to pick up sample tubes)
