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. |

Behold Von Braun--Latest Pancam. Path forward looks quite reasonable.

Behold Von Braun--Latest Pancam. Path forward looks quite reasonable. Not so sure. Here're a few simulated views taken from Google Earth. The first one is from near the current position (see navcam for comparision) while the second and third ones were taken some meters to the south where West Valley opens wide to the open space between HP and VB/G. The third and last simulated view has 3x vertical exageration and I would call this terrain ... "sporty". |
