NASA Mars Rover Spirit: Approaching an Overlook
The path of NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit through the rover’s 354th martian day, or sol (Dec. 31, 2004), plus some future travel options, are indicated on this map of the “Husband Hill” region of the “Columbia Hills” within Mars’ Gusev Crater. The rover team plans to send Spirit to a vantage point dubbed “Larry’s Lookout” for views to help in deciding whether to dip into “Tennessee Valley.”
The base image for the map was taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera aboard NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor.
