Spirit's Traverse Map, from Sol 1 up to Sol 1386
|
Caption NASA:"NASA's MER Spirit was crossing Northward on a low plateau called Home Plate on the 1386th Sol (such as Nov. 26, 2007) of Spirit's time on Mars.
By that time, nearly 47 months into a mission originally planned to last 3 months, Spirit had driven 7435 mt (4,62 miles).
From its Landing Site near the North-Western corner of this map, Spirit crossed a plain to reach the Columbia Hills, climbed over the Summit of Husband Hill, and then descended into the Inner Basin of the range, near the South-Eastern corner of the map.
For this map, the yellow line indicating Spirit's route has been overlaid onto a portion of an image taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Nov. 22, 2006, That image is catalogued as PSP_001513_1655 (see also PIA01897). The scale bar on the map is 500 mt (1640 feet) long.
North is up".
