In looking images who show Grissom Hill on the horizon, I've asked me a question : "Is it possible for Spirit to roving to Grissom Hill?" To make me sure, I went on Marsrovers JPL site and searched for an MGS satellite image showing the landing site. I've calculated approximately the distance : 8 or 9 kms. It's far but this could be a very interesting place ... more than Columbia Hill! Western from Grissom Hill, I'd seen a very big crater (1 or 2 kms diameter...). This one is certainly interesting for "areologist" who want to study the past of Gusev... Spirit is in good health. Why not? -------------------- Marsrovers Images • db-prods.net • Follow me on Twitter

They are an afternoon phenom. kicked off by warming slopes by the sun. That the cleaning happened over night? Because solar array output was much higher than it ought to have been just after sunrise compared to the previous day. Doug
