Spirit :: Rear Hazcam :: Sol 2169


Update: The latest from NASA on the Mars Rover Spirit:
‘No communication has been received from Spirit since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010).’
NASA has removed two of the Spirit Sol 2169 images, ‘Spirit Front Hazcam 2169′.
The above image, a screenshot from NASA’s Mars Rover gallery. The reason why we captured the screenshot, it contains the Mars Exploration Rover Mission image labeled Spirit :: Rear Hazcam :: Sol 2169. Over at Youtube, the discovery of the UFO video UFO EXCLUSIVE! Breaking News Clear UFO Base Caught on Cam By Mars Rovers December 2010. The video posted by OnLifeMars. A video which highlights the NASA Mars Rover image. Our screenshot, verification the NASA image in the video, is the original image from NASA.
Watch the video and see what you think. Does the Mars Rover image contain what seems to be ‘structures’, a ‘UFO base’ on Mars? Extraterrestrial ‘type’ structures and what seems to be a ‘spaceship’?

In February, NASA posted an image of the same ‘view’. With the following caption:

More info on Spirit from NASA in the February update:
NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit is now parked for the winter. The rover team is commanding Spirit this week to make additional preparations for the Mars southern hemisphere winter season. The team does not plan further motion of the wheels until spring comes to Spirit’s location beside the western edge of a low plateau called Home Plate.
On Sol 2169 (Feb. 8, 2010), the rover’s last drive before winter changed the angles of its suspension system, but it did not produce a hoped-for improvement to the overall tilt of the solar array for catching winter sunshine. Drives since Sol 2145 (Jan. 15, 2010) moved Spirit 34 centimeters (13 inches) south-southeastward. However, a counterclockwise yawing of the rover during the drives prevented it from reducing its southerly tilt.
Spirit will spend the coming winter tilted 9 degrees toward the south, an unfavorable attitude for the solar panels to catch rays from the sun in the northern sky. Spirit’s parking positions for its previous three Martian winters tilted northward. Engineers anticipate that, due to the unfavorable tilt for this fourth winter, Spirit will be out of communication with Earth for several months.
Spirit may enter a low-power hibernation mode within a few weeks, shutting down almost all functions except keeping a master clock running and checking its power status periodically until it has enough power to reawaken. It may go in and out of this mode a few times at the beginning and at the end of an extended hibernation period.
In December, NASA reported:
Spirit Remains Silent at Troy – sols 2471-2477, Dec. 15-Dec. 21, 2010:
No communication has been received from Spirit since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010).
The project continues to listen with the Deep Space Network and Mars Odyssey orbiter for autonomous recovery communication from a low-power fault case. The project is also conducting a paging technique called “Sweep & Beep” to stimulate the rover in the case of a mission-clock fault. The period of maximum solar insolation (energy production) occurs around mid-March 2011.
Total odometry is unchanged at 7,730.50 meters (4.80 miles).
Currently at the NASA website Mars Rover photo gallery, two images, ‘Spirit Front Hazcam 2169‘ have been removed by NASA. The message: 404 Not Found.

Hale Crater Mars Civilization Geometric Shapes Digital Compression

Images #1, 3, 5, 7 and 9-10, were taken by MarsExpress satellite, show odd, highly organized geometrical structures, that follow topology and respect laws of perspectivity. Pictures #2, 4, 6, 8 and 11-12 are corresponding crops, converted to BW, contrast enhanced and slightly sharpened by a very accurate S-spline algorithm. The whole image enhancment process was optimized to not introduce additional artefacts. Extensive image analysis showed, that no image processing algorithm is known, that may have created the said structures systematically or by chance. Cosine transform/inverse cosine tranfsorm (DCT/IDCT) artefacts - so called JPEG pixelation - must be disregarded, since uncompressed TIF imagary is available and detail resolution (raw data unit DCT blocksize) is mapped down to about 2x2pixel. Map colorization programs follow given 2D/3D landscape atrributes and are not known to create highly organized, distinctive, geometric patterns on their own. Possible patchwork artefacts (mosaics) can be excluded, since the images in question were taken in a single stripe shot by MarsExpress' NADIR- and high resolution stereo camera (HRSC). However a possible interaction between NADIR- and HRSC data can not be excluded; but no image from another location could be found, that shows similar or comparable patterns. Hence, the origin of the depicted structures must be considered as unknown. A detailed mission description can be found here. ESA/DLR/FU-B hi res image library can be browsed here.

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter - Phoenix against Heimdall crater as it lands

They announced at this morning's press conference that yesterday, when they first looked at their photo of Phoenix under its parachute, the HiRISE team failed to really take in the context of the image. Well, here it is, and -- prepare to have to pick your jaw up off the floor.

Phoenix against Heimdall crater as it lands
This amazing image was captured as Phoenix came in for its Mars landing on May 25, 2008. The HiRISE camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter pointed at Phoenix, which is seen here against the background of a 10-kilometer-diameter crater called Heimdall. The dramatic view makes it appear that Phoenix is falling into the crater, but in fact Phoenix was 20 kilometers closer to HiRISE than Heimdall, and it landed nowhere near the crater. The photo was taken 20 seconds after Phoenix' parachute opened. Credit: NASA / JPL / U. Arizona

MRO's HiRISE camera ac
quired this dramatic oblique image of Phoenix descending on its parachute. Shown here is a a wider view of the full image, showing a 10 kilometer diameter crater informally called �Heimdall,� and an improved full-resolution image of the parachute and lander.

Although it appears that Phoenix is descending into the crater, it is actually about 20 kilometers in front of the crater. It is difficult to believe that it is in front of the crater because it is so much smaller, but in reality it is, and that's a good thing because landing on the steep rocky slopes of the crater would have been far too exciting (or risky).

Images from the lander clearly show t
hat it sits on a flat plain, although the rim of Heimdall may be visible on the horizon. Given the position and pointing angle of MRO, Phoenix is at about 13 km above the surface, just a few seconds after the parachute opened. This improved image shows some details of the parachute, including the gap between upper and lower sections. At the time of this observation, MRO had an orbital altitude of 310 km, traveling at a ground velocity of 3.4 kilometers/second, and a distance of 760 km to the Phoenix lander.

The image was rotated to a position that seems approximately parallel to the horizon based on the elongation of Heimdall crater, but this is not exact. Thus, although Phoenix appears to hang from the parachute at an angle, as if swaying in the wind, the exact geometry has not yet been determined. The parachute image is v
ery sharp as its apparent motion was straight down the HiRISE TDI (time delay integration) columns. However, the surface of Mars was moving at an angle to the TDI columns, and thus is smeared by a few pixels, although the smear is not apparent at the reduced scale of the image shown here.

The sun is almost directly behind HiRISE, so the parachute should be casting a shadow onto the slope of the crater, but we cannot determine which of many dark spots is the shadow until a detailed geometric analysis has been completed.

MARS SATELLITE IMAGE ILLUSIONS




The Art of Misdirection & The Unreal

Report #126

September 15, 2007

Joseph P. Skipper


The above first image and the next three below are from the MRO HiRISE #PSP_003694_1800 science data image. As you can see, it is a wide-angle context view inclusive from one side of the strip to the other. The scene is beautifully clean and clear looking with a silky quality to it and that is so typical of the very high resolution current MRO camera system images. The MRO stats on this image indicate that this scene is located in Terra Sabaea south of Janssen Crater but that really isn't important to us here.

As you can also see, the darker streaks relative to the lighter color background are the scene's most eye catching feature. In the more current MRO data these are described as "slope streaks" which is a rather neutral identifying moniker in relation to the previous characterizations of this evidence. In previous science data, these have been consistently officially described as dust slides down slopes. The theory is that the upper soil material slides downslope revealing darker geological material underneath. These characterizations of course reinforce the official position that Mars in general is a super dry, dusty, dead world.

You should perhaps also know that some lay researchers in the field have identified these as water weeps but of course that, as you might well imagine, didn't get far in the traditional mainstream science communities who rarely deviate from evidence official designations once they are made. Now in the over seven years I've been doing this, you might note that I haven't reported on this type of evidence. Why? Well I usually don't report on geological evidence because most of the time I leave that to the geologist unless I believe they are too far off base. However, that's not my reasoning here. I haven't reported on this simply because I don't buy into this evidence at all.

For example, in the above beautifully clear scene, note all the smoothed textures on everything giving it that silky look. This isn't the way geology looks and particularly not in satellite imaging with the very high fine resolution touted in the MRO imaging. When it comes to rough geology, we should be seeing many times the geological detail we are seeing here. Any professional worth his salt who has examined satellite images of Earth's geology even in 10 and 20 year older satellite camera technology will have to admit that and it isn't because this is super dry dusty Mars either where geology is covered by dust.

All one has to do is take a brief look at the Spirit and Opportunity rover imaging when the surfaces of the rovers are shown. After many months and even some years trekking around on the Mars super dry "dusty" surface, the rover hardware surfaces including all of the onboard great many nooks and crannies and dirt catchers are pristine clean. Either the rovers in these particular images are not on Mars or, if one argues that they are, then Mars just clearly isn't all that dusty, at least not to the degree as portrayed here in this MRO image. You just can't have your cake and eat it to as the saying goes.

In my opinion, what we are looking at in this scene is a demonstration of the art of misdirection and illusions of the unreal. We are looking at everything being covered by map type smudge image tampering from one end and side of the strip to the other. It is applied thin enough in places so that the rougher natural terrain can print through a bit to the surface giving the scene the vague washed out look of geology. The streaks are added for effect as eye candy for the researcher's eye to lock onto rather than be faced with image after image devoid of any such detail and thereby slowly raising inconvenient questions.

The above second image with its view to the left and the third image with it view to the right from the same MRO strip provide a closer of the areas with the primary streaks in the scene. As you can see, the illusion continues to hold up very well in these substantially closer views. That's because the much greater camera resolution has enabled and allowed the tampering applications to now occur at a much closer and finer level relative to the past and then the scene is drawn back to the distance you see here for the desired effect.

You have to understand that we aren't dealing with a home computer here or even some huge commercial computer and some commercially available software that does nothing more than what the user tells it to. I have always been satisfied from the beginning that we are dealing with super fast computers run by cutting edge proprietary state of the art and steadily evolving AI (artificial intelligence) technology capable of learning and making its own extrapolations and decisions (with a little help from its support group) and using proprietary cutting edge and steadily evolving combination object recognition and mapping type graphics software to implement its actions in processing and "fixing" the incoming data.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that in these more modern times a master system and its redundant backups control many other systems in this process including systems reviewing and checking behind systems and redoing images that need it. The raw specially encrypted so it can't be intercepted data comes in under strict secrecy to this location first, is processed, then encrypted again to match the original design science encryption, and then likely bounced back off of the Mars satellite to come into the normal and waiting Earth computers systems appearing for all the world like the true raw science data but isn't really and no one is the wiser.

That's because the straight well meaning scientists thinking simply doesn't track along this slippery line as those do in military, security, and intelligence work. We're exploration scientists associated with university systems and here is the science data just as we expected it and from the source we expected to come in from, even if a little disappointing in lack of hoped for detail. So what's the problem? They just ignore the very obvious fact that NASA and JPL and so many others associated with this science are riddled with people right to the very top that either have direct military security and/or intelligence backgrounds or are civilians that have long worked with military security and/or intelligence developing a "cooperative" relationship with it.

No, it just can't be, it's just too fantastic and, like Scarlet's character in the movie Gone With The Wind, I can't think about that right now or I might add ever! So a pattern of ignoring it develops that communicates down through the subsequent generations of otherwise bright and intelligent scientists conditioning and corrupting them thoroughly in this manner. Meanwhile, over decades the true raw data and its very important and useful information is retained in secret somewhere for only an elitist few to have knowledge of and try to figure out a way to capitalize on while the general science and academic communities and through them the public get the nice safe appearing sanitized placebo material to float along with thinking everything is okay and well in hand.

The process necessarily conditions ignorance and non thinking into the populations to keep them passive and non interfering so that subsequent generations focus more and more on shallow matters and become more and more detached from reality and even recognizing what that actually is. The process also conditions the subsequent generations of secrecy elitists more and more into isolation so that eventually they have no feelings of commonality with the general populations and come to regard us more and more as merely a resource to be capitalized on, manipulated without qualm, and perhaps even expendable. Does this sound like a good thing to you? It doesn't to me.

In any case, the above fourth image from the same MRO strip is the site a little lower down in the first presented context image. The only thing this scene tells us beyond what we are suppose to see is that some spot tampering applications as represented by the yellow text in the above image were applied after the streaks were applied and on top of them ever so slightly overlapping the tops of the streaks and very subtly only in that way revealing themselves in the process. This demonstrates that first the basic tampering was done applying what becomes the smudge general background, next the darker streaks were applied on top of this background as the eye candy to catch and misdirect the eye, but something was still coming through in these spots on follow-up and so secondary spot applications of matching smudge labeled in yellow text were applied.

Unfortunately these few very subtle clues are all that we have now as evidence of the presence of the map type tampering and obfuscation of this newer MRO imaging. One has to understand that the tampering technology has had a chance to evolve and fix its mistakes over the years and become much more effective and particularly with respect to creating illusions and thereby misdirection. Further, this tampering progress is significantly enhanced by the ability to make the applications down at minute size scales never admitted to so that when the image is drawn back to the publicly released much more distant scale, such applications are very difficult to detect as you can see above.

As for true color images, they are of course more difficult to obscure because it makes evidence stand out familiar to the eye. That means it can't be allowed and any future substitute to pass off as original must be very good and well beyond the ESA artificial colorized imaging. Rather they use the real color imaging to gather data for their own secret purposes as well as stock pile hundreds of thousands of color images into a database that will go into making the next generation of tampering using color as effective as needed to pass off as real.

As this map type tampering technology progresses, the colorizing aspect will soon reach the level, if not already, where they will feel confident that artificial color can be applied with a sufficiently realistic effect and then that addition more easily passed off as the real thing in future imaging. You can count on it! I'm satisfied that the real unobfuscated true satellite imaging raw data held in secret somewhere has been in color since at least before the MGS MOC data probably at least as far back as the Clementine Moon data and most definitely includes the current MRO data. We are never going to see it unless they feel that they have no choice but to allow it.

That is where the Planetary Truth Project will eventually come into the picture to do something about this. Meanwhile, I digress. We've seen the slope streaks in the MRO imaging, now lets see some of the same type of evidence in the older MGS MOC imaging as appears below for comparison purposes.
