    We’re looking at the robotic arm workspace directly in front of the rover.

    The images are from sol 4132. Timestamp range: Mar 21 2024 19:52:32 UT to 19:55:07 UT

    I don’t have access to the true scale, but the workspace is close to 2 meters wide

    I do not know how to calculate the exact coordinates of the center of the image, but the rover is at E: 8144783.561, N: -283373.013 (Easting / Northing) or Lat: -4.78067413, Lon: 137.40742510 (Latitude / Longitude) You can just make out part of the rover at the bottom of the mosaic, so the workspace is 2.5 meters from the center of the rover. The rover’s attitude at the end of the drive was 166.07° (~SSE)

      Thanks for posting and replying. If I’m reading correctly, the longest rock in the center is approx. 1 meter long?

          That’s awesome. When I was first looking at this I was thinking it was satellite imagery. Thanks for clearing that up and awesome post!
