Oppy's next destination - the Shoemaker Ridge...
(3D version here http://roadtoendeavour.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/sr-3d.jpg ) Some more height...surrounded by lots of gorgeous rocks...view right across Endeavour... our first view too, probably, of the Promised Land in the centre of Cape York where the phylosillicates are waiting to be found... Go get 'em, Oppy! ![]() Edit: looks like Oppy's on the move... ![]() http://qt.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportuni...84P1211L0M1.JPG -------------------- |

It looks like the 2735 move was towards the west, ie towards Odyssey crater, instead of directly towards Shoemaker ridge (north). Positioning for a drive north, or checking out Odyssey ejecta - we'll find out soon enough.
Edit: my guess is checking out Odyssey ejecta, since directly north looked totally drivable. |
