Victoria Crater, from 20 mt - Sol 950
|
Caption NASA originale:"A drive of about 30 mt (about 100 feet) on the 950th Sol of MER Opportunity's exploration of Mars' Meridiani Planum Region (Sept. 25, 2006) brought the NASA Rover to within about 20 mt (about 66 feet) of the rim of Victoria Crater. (...) The scalloped shape of the Crater is visible on the left edge. Due to a small dune or ripple close to the nearest part of the rim, the scientists and engineers on the rover team planned on Sol 951 to drive to the right of the ripple, but not quite all the way to the rim, then to proceed to the rim the following Sol. The image is presented in cylindrical projection with geometric seam correction".
