An interesting update at Newscientist.
Seems they are planning on using Spirit's RAT to dig down into the dirt, cm by cm. I wonder how deep they can go? Maybe we'll find out if there is anything frozen/liquid just below the surface. Link |

4 pics of the area directly in front of Spirit. Raw bands 2,5,7 composites... two with rover in view contrast stretched to improve dark soil detail. Some bright areas are saturated in the data.
Quite complicated wind ripples and granule/sand deposits.. also note bright red coating with much bluer stuff inside exposed by wheel gouges. post slightly too big.. here's the 4th |
