Short time to enjoy Eldorado images and now... just released picture of HomePlate, I know still hundred of meters away but seems so close!
 stitch of two Sol712 NavCams:
It seems Spirit is now at the same level of HomePlate plateau! Here I tried to identify some features seen from the summit... not totally sure on bright sand spots and rocks, any suggestion?

The corrected version of the position of Spirit at the Sol 714.
The Spirit is about to turn around a small hill on its South West. After cornering, Spirit will have a view another hill but bigger than the cornering hill. Rodolfo |

Sol-by-sol summaries:
Sol 711 and 712: On sol 711, Spirit drove 56 meters (184 feet) toward Home Plate using blind driving and autonomous navigation. The autonomous-navigation portion of the drive terminated early because the rover could not find a safe path, and a limit cycle was detected. Due to the limit cycle check and automatic drive termination on sol 711, Spirit did not resume driving on sol 712. Sol 713: Spirit drove 80 meters (263 feet). Spirit received stall warnings on the left front steer motor on hard left turns, however this did not end the drive. Sol 714: Spirit drove 62 meters (203 feet). The team performed a steering test of the left front steering actuator because of the prior stall warnings. Preliminary results show no more stall warnings. As of sol 714 (Jan. 5, 2006), Spirit's total odometry is 6,031 meters (3.75 miles). Meanwhile, Oppy's total odometry is 6,531 meters (4.04 miles). Spirit had some problems with the drives but no apparent damage. BTW, Spirit crossed the 6 km mark and now trails Oppy by just over 400 meters. My gut tells me it overtakes Oppy temporarily before Oppy reclaims its position as it heads over to Victoria Crater. |
