“Spirit” Cover on Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine: 14 November 2005
Rocky Martian High: Spirit Takes the Summit “Spirit” at the Summit of Husband Hill appears as the Cover image for the 14 November 2005 issue of Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazine. The highly detailed 6 page cover package, titled "Rocky Martian High", describes the dramatic flight operations of the JPL/Cornell team as Spirit completed work on a Martian mountaintop: see www.aviationweek.com. The cover photo of Spirit and 2 additional pictures inside (full widescreen view and hazcam of Hillary rock outcrop), were derived by an international team of Mars enthusiasts indicating how outside analysts can use the raw imagery data from the rovers available to everyone.

Hi all, this is a little explaination about the AWST cover for the 14 Nov 2005 issue.
The image is the result of patient, coordinated work from Doug (djellison), Bernhard (Nirgal), Ken (mars loon) and myself. First inspiration was from the "autocelebration" panorama, a stitch posted by me in this Forum and then colorized by Bernhard. The original picture is based on 9 NavCam images taken on Sol618, close to the rock outcrop nicknamed "Hillary" at the summit of Husband Hill. Assembly was initially done with Autostitch and captured the attention of many people due also to the many "hardware" details visible in the foreground. The portion you are seeng here is only a small part of the complete panorama, re-created by Doug (as he will explain in another post). -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
