NASA Opportunity Mars Rover Image: After a U-Turn
NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity made its first U-Turn on Mars on Feb. 14, 2004, as the completing move of its longest one-day drive, about 9 meters or 30 feet. This view from the right front hazard-avoidance camera shows the scene in front of Opportunity after the turn, with the selected location for the mission’s first trenching operation now directly in front of the rover.
