Nasa announced earlier that Opportunity will head for Vostok Crater, due South.
I assembled this colored mosaic to get a better idea of what lies ahead. Reaching the crater Victoria in the south should not be a problem, I only hope the rocky terrain north of the crater will allow Opportunity to travel in more or less a straight line. There sure are plenty of interesting sites to explore in this area! -------------------- photographer, space imagery enthusiast, proud father and partner, and geek.

QUOTE (NIX @ Jan 9 2005, 02:07 PM) Ilbasso I think you are mistaking the big depression in the upper half for Endurance. Endurance is midway the mosaic and Eagle Crater to the left of it. Victoria is about 700-750 meters wide I think compared to 130-140 meters for Endurance. The question becomes...why not go 'up' to the big depression area? It's as large as Victoria but not as deep (they pretty much have no chance to go into Victoria). Maybe it's just not as exciting or they don't think they'd see anything new there?
