ZP-H-PIA10126.jpgSpirit's Traverse Map, from Sol 1 up to Sol 1386107 visiteCaption 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".MareKromium

ZP-I-PIA10127.jpgHeading for the next Winter Haven...93 visiteCaption NASA:"Approaching its 47th month of a Mars Surface Mission originally planned to last 3 months, NASA's Spirit Rover was also approaching the Northern Edge of a low plateau called Home Plate. The Rover's Operators selected an area with North-Facing Slope there as a destination where Spirit would have its best chance of surviving low-solar-energy conditions of oncoming Martian Winter.
The yellow line on this map of the Home Plate area indicates Spirit's route from early February 2006, entering the mapped area from the North (top), to late November 2007, on the Western Edge of the bright-toned Home Plate plateau. The map covers an area about 160 mt (525 feet) across from West to East. Labels indicate the area intended for Spirit to spend many months spanning the Rover's 3rd Martian Winter, the site where it spent about 7 months (April to November 2006) spanning its 2nd Winter, and the site where it lost use of the drive motor for 1 of its 6 wheels.
A North-Facing Slope helps Spirit maximizes electric output from its Solar Panels during Winter months because Spirit is in the Southern Hemisphere of Mars, so the Sun appears only in the Northern Sky during Winter. For the 3rd winter, which will reach its minimum solar-energy days in early June 2008, Spirit faces the challenge of having more dust on its Solar Panels than it had during its 2nd one.
The base image for this map is a portion of a color image taken on Jan. 9, 2007, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter".
