Here're the latest navcam pictures taken during sol 1850: http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/spirit/navcam/2009-03-18/
Spirit is no longer stuck, but I think the attempt to go on top of HP via the NE path is finished and we are going to the West Valley. A pancam mosaic of the western route is planned for tosol. |

I think I've found sol 743 weels tracks
Visible for a few meters before and after these two black rocks in the first 1/4 from the back of the picture a little bit on the right from the center. Agree? -------------------- |

I think I've found sol 743 weels tracks Nice job spotting the tracks, climber! I think what helps their visibility here is that we're looking straight "up" the tracks, so they are heavily foreshortened, so a long stretch of tracks is compressed into a short span of the image. The exposed white stuff shows nicely again how we completely missed this material during our previous pass through here in the mid sol 700's with six good wheels. Given their interest in the white stuff we exposed on the north side of HP, I wonder if we'll be pausing for a bit to take a closer look here? |
