Our Mars team image of Spirit at Hillary just appeared on APOD (13 March 2007) with the great headline
"Attacking Mars" http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap070313.html This image originally appeared in the 14 November 2005 issue of "Aviation Week and Space Technology" magazine as part of the extensive review article written by Craig Covault as Spirit reached the summit of Husband Hill. "Hillary" is named in honor of Sir Edmund Hillary click on the image for a caption and photo credits M. Di Lorenzo, B. Braun. D. Ellison and K. Kremer enjoy ken --- APOD Caption: The Spirit rover attacked Mars again in 2005 September. What might look, above, like a military attack, though, was once again just a scientific one - Spirit was instructed to closely inspect some interesting rocks near the summit of Husband Hill. Spirit's Panoramic Camera captured the rover's Instrument Deployment Device above as moved to get a closer look at an outcrop of rocks named Hillary. The Spirit rover, and its twin rover Opportunity, have now been exploring the red planet for over three years. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found evidence that parts of Mars were once wet. |

If the quality of that image was any better it would qualify as a sample return mission.

Right on, Phil...also the 50th anniversary of Sputnik 1's re-entry. Ad Astra per Scientiam, now and forever...
