Update:
Spirit completed acquiring a large "Thanksgiving" Pancam panorama on Sol 324 and is continuing the travel towards Husband Hill. Spirit has just about crossed the flat saddle area between Husband Hill and West Spur and will be blimbing steeper slopes soon. Sol 325 - Spirit continued driving Eastward across the flat saddle area between the West Spur of the Columbia Hills to where the terrain slopes back upwards towards Husband Hill. She successfully completed ~35 meters of 5-wheel driving bringing the total mission travel distance to 3.82 km Future Plans Next week Spirit will continue to drive further up the hills, and will be looking for outcrops along the way. Two possible routes are still being considered - a route that would head directly towards the top of husband hill, and a route that allows exploring of a steep walled canyon on the North side of Husband hill. |
