This image taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity’s panoramic camera shows where the rover’s airbags left impressions in the martian soil. The drag marks were made after the rover successfully landed at Meridiani Planum and its airbags were retracted. The rover can be seen in the foreground.
