ZP-G-Trav_onHiRISE_N_1_5X.jpgSpirit's Race against Winter96 visiteCaption NASA:"While struggling to reach a Winter Outpost necessary for survival on Mars, Spirit has been slowed by sand in the bottom of a shallow, bowl-like depression. Spirit's goal is to reach a slope on the North Edge of Home Plate that will keep its Solar Panels trained on the Sun.
If the Rover can collect enough sunlight to survive, Spirit will continue to study terrain near Home Plate, which the rover reached after crossing the floor of Gusev Crater and scaling the Columbia Hills. This map shows the Rover's progress from July 2004 to November 2007".MareKromium

ZP-J-PIA10129.jpgSpirit nears North-Tilting Site for Winter Haven88 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA's MER Spirit made daily progress in early December 2007 toward the Northern Edge of a low plateau called Home Plate. The rover's operators selected an area with North-Facing Slope there (indicated by the blue-outlined rectangle) as a destination where Spirit would have its best chance of surviving low-solar-energy conditions of oncoming Martian Winter.
As indicated by the yellow line tracing the path Spirit has driven, the Rover was near the Western Edge of the plateau on Sol 1390 of the mission (Nov. 30, 2007), but nearing the Northern Edge by Sol 1397 (Dec. 8, 2007).
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 Winter.

ZP-H-PIA10126.jpgSpirit's Traverse Map, from Sol 1 up to Sol 138685 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.

ZP-I-PIA10127.jpgHeading for the next Winter Haven...71 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.
