MOC2-1331a: cPROTO image, 2 November 2005 - Where's "MER Spirit"? (1)
|
Original caption:"Two years ago, the Mars Exploration Rover (MER), Spirit, touched down in Gusev Crater. The Rover marked its first Mars-year (687 Earth Days) anniversary in November 2005. Shortly before its Martian Anniversary, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) Team acquired an image covering approximately 3 by 3 Km (such as about 1,9 by 1,9 mi) centered on the Rover's current location in the Columbia Hills.
This first picture (MOC2-1331a) shows the 2 November 2005 image with a spatial resolution of about 50 cm (~1.6 feet) per pixel.
The white box indicates the location of the view in the second picture (MOC2-1331c). (...)
The largest or tallest peak that you can see here is that of Husband Hill: the one that was climbed by the Spirit rover during much of 2005".
