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. |

It was hard not to post this in the route map thread, but it looks like Spirit's sol 1868 went very well! I'm happy, because considering it was a bit uphill, plus it seems like just the other day she was wallowing in sand - well, I wasn't expecting this one to go nearly so well. Here's a little celebratory screen grab based on the tracking data - I'm not sure how exact this is yet, the Navcams will help.
![]() BTW, love the color anaglyph, Ant. ![]() P.S. I'm raising a glass to the MER team right now. Nice drive! |
