As we have become accustomed to here on UMSF, the Rovers have reached another incredible milestone.
Today (tosol), the Mars Exploration Rover 'Spirit' has been operating on the red planet for 2000 Sols. ![]() To celebrate, here are a few logos, desktops and a poster for you to download and enjoy. The poster features another brilliant work of prose from our UMSF 'Poet Dude' Stuart Atkinson and a big credit to James Canvin for the Calypso Pan (with some Astro0 enhancements ![]() Poster: There's also a full-size 4.5mb version of the poster over at my blog. Plus a 16.2mb version to download for the brave. Desktops: Logos: |

Once we get unbogged, may the winds of Mars blow fair and keep her solar sails clean so that we can all celebrate Sol 4000.
I know that it's been said before but it bears repeating again and again - THANKS you guys in the Rover team, especially Steve Squyres and Jim Bell, for having the guts and foresight to allow us real time access. You're not just leaders in space! NASA bosses, please note that we're voting for them as one of your GREAT assets!! When I think of time - especially deep space time or v personal time - I think of this - one of the greatest (but short...under 4 mins) pieces of music produced by European culture in the last couple of hundred years (by one of Ireland's best composers.... if not the best). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rm9c30ZRro |
