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 !
