When your rover is trapped in a dust storm for months the batteries are going to run out before you can clean the dust off and start generating power again.
That's the problem.

I think you forget the original mission was 90 days. All main mission objectives were determined could be completed without anything to clean the solar panels, so it was simply an extra cost that wasn't necessary. A solution would have cost money for the hardware, taken man hours to design, and ideally would have needed testing to ensure it was worth the cost in weight and extra-point-of-failure risk in the first place.

With all those engineers you'd think someone would have included some confetti poppers in case it will still running on its first birthday right? No, because it isn't necessary for the mission.

once we have more than one mission to mars, return weight is going to be super cheap, the hard part is choosing to go get it or study it where it is

The voyager probes have plutonium batteries powering them.
If you need long term autonomous power for relatively low weight, you can't really beat it.

Curiosity was the first one with a true color camera.
Sojourner, spirit, and opportunity had black and white cameras to save bandwidth that had color wheels to calibrate so you could color correct it for the general masses.

[Anonymous No.10388161]

>>10388149
Not entirely correct.
On Spirit and Opportunity the panoramic cameras had color filters to take color photographs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancam
You may claim that the underlying camera is still monochrome and using filters is different, but current digital cameras still do basically the same thing, with filters over the sensor.

The biggest problem with Mars is that it has an atmosphere, so correct white balance settings will change depending on what is going on in that atmosphere, and they don't have a grey card to help select the correct white balance.

I do indeed.
>but current digital cameras still do basically the same thing
How many generations ahead is your digital camera from what is on the twins?
It still reproduces color, but a lot of people don't understand that just because its in "color" doesn't mean it would look the same way as if you were there standing next to it.
And since the images are mostly for public consumption they tweak the colors to emphasize the differences to get people excited.
The only people who know better don't protest too much because it serves its purpose.

Same applies to today's cameras.
Every single photo you take has to decide a white balance, either manually or automatically, and the results of an incorrect white balance can be huge.
Most cameras also do some automatic post processing, even DSLRs, such that two cameras on the same settings can produce slightly different images.
While I agree with trying as much a possible to reproduce what you would see with your own eyes, it's not a very welll defined target because we don't see exactly the same and there are no known colors to use as white balance references.

Most of our eyes are defective though

[Anonymous No.10388993]

>>10388797
Exactly.
This is why we need known things, like grey cards, to calibrate the photos. Then, as long as the display calibration is relatively close, at least people will see it as near how they would really see it.

Photography is actually ass because there's a bunch of layers to what the viewer actually sees, particularly in the digital age. From the photographer's camera, to the editor's eyes and monitor, to the viewer's eyes and monitor, there are several places where a difference will change how the viewer sees the image.
