Mars Rover? What Mars Rover...

Remember them? The plucky lil' machines named Spirit and Opportunity? They are on a roll! Opportunity has spent the last couple of weeks traversing the Martian surface to get to the crater Endurance. Pictures are available here from the Jet Propulsion Labs website. The question now is whether to send her down into the crater -- there are lots of interesting features along the wall but there is also a strong doubt if she can be brought back up over the wall again. Very very cool stuff! Posted by DaveH at May 3, 2004 11:06 PM
