- in the higher elevations of the Wasatch Mountains near Salt Lake City
- modified recording, you need earphone and stereo for this one
- you can hear the wind whistling around the antenna
- setting up current in the antenna
- recorded by the vlf along with the usual signals
- there are the unusual usual moans as well
- sometimes i think these are stemming from the antenna
- but then i think not, they have no relation to the wind or weather
- your guess is as good as mine, probably better
- chorus adds separation, you need good separation
- machine turning on and off, i think, as rampant development continues
- we were near some ski resorts, not sky resorts
- listen, be informed -

NASA's Opportunity Rover Rolls Free on Mars
Engineers and mission managers for NASA's Mars Exploration Rover
mission cheered when images from the Martian surface confirmed
Opportunity had successfully escaped from a sand trap.
>From about 174 million kilometers away (about 108 million miles), the
rover team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., had
worked diligently for nearly five weeks to extricate the rover. The long-
distance roadside assistance was a painstaking operation to free all six
wheels of the rover, which were mired up to their rims in the soft sand of a
small martian dune.
"After a nerve-wracking month of hard work, the rover team is both elated
and relieved to finally see our wheels sitting on top of the sand instead of
half buried in it," said Jeffrey Biesiadecki, a JPL rover mobility engineer.
Traction was difficult in the ripple-shaped dune of windblown dust and
sand that Opportunity drove into on April 26. In the weeks following, the
rover churned 192 meters (629 feet) worth of wheel rotations before
gaining enough traction to actually move one meter (about three feet). The
rover team directed the drives in cautious increments from May 13 through
June 4.
"We did careful testing for how to get Opportunity out of the sand. Then
we patiently followed the strategy developed from the testing, monitoring
every step of the way," Biesiadecki said. "We hope to have Opportunity
busy with a full schedule of scientific exploration again shortly."
Opportunity's next task is to examine the site to provide a better
understanding of what makes that ripple different from the dozens of
similar ones the rover easily crossed. "After we analyze this area, we'll be
able to plan safer driving in the terrain ahead," said JPL's Jim Erickson,
rover project manager.
Both Spirit and Opportunity have worked in harsh martian conditions much
longer than anticipated. They have been studying geology on opposite
sides of Mars for more than a year of extended missions since
successfully completing their three-month primary missions in April 2004.
"The first thing we're going to do is simply take a hard look at the stuff we
were stuck in," said Dr. Steve Squyres of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
He is the principal investigator for the Mars rovers' science instruments.
"After that, we will begin a cautious set of moves to get us on our way
southward again. South is where we think the best science is, so that's still
where we want to go."
Shortly after landing in January 2004, Opportunity found layered bedrock
that bore geological evidence for a shallow ancient sea. Spirit did not find
extensive layered bedrock until more than a year later, after driving more
than two miles and climbing into a range of hills known as "Columbia
Hills."
