Both rovers healthy & on martian surface
Monday, 02 February 2004

The Spirit is healthy again. Its booting normally, & will resume the examination of the rock, "Adirondack." The latest rover to land, Opportunity, has officially rolled onto the martian surface.

"Gray granules covering most of the crater floor surrounding Opportunity contain hematite, said Dr. Phil Christensen, lead scientist for both rovers' miniature thermal emission spectrometers, which are infrared-sensing instruments used for identifying rock types from a distance. Crystalline hematite is of special interest because, on Earth, it usually forms under wet environmental conditions."
