Ohh - such sweet, flat, WONDEROUS driving terratory
 I wonder how the power situation will change there. On the southern inside of the crater near Burns cliff - it was north tilted and got good power - on the easter edge - it got western tilt and now, on the outside of the western edge - it gets western tilt. Would be interesting to see how many WHr's it's getting now Doug |

Going on the image time- it would appear that Oppy was re-born at 18:25 GMT today.
That's 322 days and 12 hrs since it's very first image - which was taken on Sol 1 at 14:47 local. It is now Sol 315 - Opportunity has outlived its design life by 225 sols, or 350%  Pando - I dont know if a special rush was put on getting those to the Exploratorium pages - but if it was ( or even if it wasnt ) can you give your 'contact' a very big thankyou on behalf of all of us!

These Rovers must be one of the most successful missions and one with most bang for the buck
Now Oppy is go for the heatshield and then she can really strecth her legs on the way to the etched terrain and hopefully Victoria Crater

Here is the beeline to the heatshield:
 Oppy could be there tomorrow, but I guess they are going to do the panorama first. They might even move half a metre back to get a better view for the panorama. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen
