Daily dose of Mars

Thursday, 05 February 2004

Both rovers are healthy & active today. Spirit is getting ready to grind into the rock, Adirondack, & Opportunity is preparing to stow its arm, & leave its landing pad. Both rovers are sending back images, but the ones from Opportunity are the coolest today. One, shown below is a microscopic shot of martian soil that shows tiny spherical pebbles. Another Opportunity image shows a mineral map of the surrounding area which displays levels of hematite nearby.
