Opportunity Closing In On Spirit Point At Endeavour CraterPasadena CA (JPL) Jul 25, 2011 Opportunity is only about 1.1 kilometers (0.68 miles) from "Spirit Point," the first landfall on the rim of Endeavour crater. The rover continues to make very good progress, driving five times in the last week and totaling over 510 meters of drive distance. The right-front wheel currents remain behaved. The project continues to use backwards driving and actuator heating as mitigation techniques for the elevated drive actuator currents. On Sol 2656 (July 14, 2011), an atmospheric argon ... read more |
