Opportunity is not quite at Victoria yet, but on the horizon is a tantalising goal for the future- the big eroded crater to the south-east, the rim of which is already visible. This is the first 'large scale' topography of the mission so far. Wouldn't it be great if Opportunity could get to these hills and uncover their secrets?

QUOTE (SFJCody @ Sep 21 2006, 06:57 AM)  Really nice picture by the way, not sure that I'd seen this one before. Could those be fossil shorelines in the interior of that big crater? Bearing in mind how wet it's been in Meridiani, I find that easily conceivable. Prior to committing to a Big Crater campaign, however, I'd want to fill-in the imagery to the southwest. Seems like I recall seeing some interesting dendritic channel terrain off in that direction, as well as some unique topography. The driving conditions off towards Big Crater look pretty boring. |
