Opportunity Imaging Small Craters On Way To EndeavourPasadena CA (JPL) Dec 03, 2010 Opportunity continues to make good progress towards Endeavour crater while collecting remote-sensing science observations (imaging) of small craters along the way. The rover drove on Sols 2429 (Nov. 23, 2010), 2433 (Nov. 27, 2010), and 2436 (Nov. 30, 2010), covering over 81 meters (266 feet), 89 meters (292 feet) and 100 meters (328 feet), respectively. An alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS) atmospheric argon measurement was performed on Sol 2430 (Nov. 24, 2010). The miniature thermal e ... read more |
