Good Evening!
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? -------------------- |
