In order to celebrate the 2-year success of the MER rovers, please, find herewith a new Mars rover 360° « fisheye » view, I just made for some friends at NASA.

Please, note that :

=> this is a low-res version : the "whooping" hi-res version is available for publication.. ;

=> this view shows the Martian lanscape as seen by the Spirit rover on its 583rd Martian day (or “Sol”) on Mars from the summit of the Husband Hill on the Columbia Hills, 83 m above the Gusev crater plains. Also is shown on the horizon the Gusev crater rim, 2000 m above the surrounding plains, which is located 80 km away from the rover… Now, Thanks to the MER rovers, Mars is a small world !

=> this view was also done to warmly acknowledge the MER imaging team at Cornell University for their fantastic work in bringing such good cameras to Mars, and also to the Engineering Team at NASA/JPL which has succeeded in building such strong MER rovers ;
... And dedicated also to my good friends at UnmannedSpacecraft Forum and to its GREEEEEAT Management team !

Enjoy !

ohmy.gif That ROCKS! Splendid work Olivier. I was very surprised seeing Spirit stare right at me.. I think I've fallen in love with her. huh.gif

The rim stands out nicely, the glare, the sky, wauw.

It's perfect smile.gif Long time since my desktop had a background but this does it...

Awesome, Dude!

If we ever have an international conference, this MUST become the official button for all attendees.

For enhanced orientation, I would love to see a version of this with the cardinal directions and all the significant visible landmarks labelled, right out to Ma'adim Vallis.

I want to know how you got the shot of the top of the Pancam mast without getting the photographer's shadow in the picture!

Dear Mars Loon, please do (I'll be very honoured) and I can mail you other ones from VoM if needed (I did it before for some other friends from the UMNSF Forum).

Great image! Definitely a keeper, if I ever have a computer to save such things to again!
