00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:06,280
hi my name is Richard Morris one of the

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:08,210
mission managers on the Mars exploration

3
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:10,010
Rovers and this is the flight director

4
00:00:16,420 --> 00:00:14,000
update for the 22nd of may 2007 we'll

5
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:16,430
start with spirit currently it is early

6
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:19,250
morning on salt 1203 for spirit later on

7
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:21,350
today spirit will drive away from the

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:24,710
Phillips I'll deposit it's been studying

9
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:27,530
for several weeks now the soil deposits

10
00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,720
as measured by spirits alpha particle

11
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:31,599
x-ray spectrometer contain a

12
00:00:37,180 --> 00:00:34,310
concentration of pure silica of ninety

13
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:37,190
percent that fact combined with the

14
00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:39,110
mineralogy as measured by spirits

15
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:41,000
miniature thermal emission spectrometer

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:44,630
tell us that the soil was formed by

17
00:00:51,970 --> 00:00:47,570
processes which require the presence of

18
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:51,980
water these silica rich soil deposits

19
00:00:56,740 --> 00:00:54,140
were ironically uncovered by spirits

20
00:00:58,420 --> 00:00:56,750
stuck right front wheel which as spirit

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:00:58,430
drags this wheel behind it it tends to

22
00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:01,730
excavate a small trench next for Spirit

23
00:01:06,029 --> 00:01:03,739
will be to drive on top of home plate on

24
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:06,039
the way Spirit will investigate

25
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:08,630
Geographic layering in order to attempt

26
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:10,369
to characterize the depth of these

27
00:01:14,859 --> 00:01:13,729
silica rich soil to prod meanwhile on

28
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:14,869
the other side of the planet or

29
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:16,729
opportunity it is currently early

30
00:01:24,099 --> 00:01:21,020
evening on tall 1182 today opportunity

31
00:01:26,819 --> 00:01:24,109
drove away from the rock target known as

32
00:01:29,639 --> 00:01:26,829
Sir Cydia sir Cydia is potentially a

33
00:01:32,139 --> 00:01:29,649
jective from deep inside Victoria crater

34
00:01:34,510 --> 00:01:32,149
next opportunity will make its way

35
00:01:36,699 --> 00:01:34,520
around the northwest edge of Victoria

36
00:01:39,429 --> 00:01:36,709
crater in order to make its way back to

37
00:01:42,419 --> 00:01:39,439
duck Bay on the way opportunity will

38
00:01:44,919 --> 00:01:42,429
continue checkouts of its new technology

39
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:44,929
i'm richard morris thanks for watching
