I've heard about that too. Pathfinder is about 5300 km east of our landing site.
That's about plus six Martian hours to the local time of our Probes, which gives
me some opportunity to separate both landing sites.
The Pathfinder site is dead and I haven't detected any activity over there for
weeks. The Chinese lander is west of our landing site and the last site that comes
up with its typical ping. The Global Surveyor signals I have sorted out, but what's
left is that echo similar to the Chinese ping, I mentioned in the Team-Report
yesterday. It's sometimes even on air, when only Pathfinder site can be watched.
There is something going on up there. Maybe another lander. Perhaps a second
Chinese one, maybe something else.
We really should shift to PD with that. I move on listening. If I find out
something, I let you know directly or tomorrow by Team Report, till then
keep my ears walking
