Spirit Clocks Up Three Kilometers 
Pasadena (JPL) Jun 11, 2004During sols 148 through 151, Spirit advanced significantly closer to the "Columbia Hills" and now sits only 220 meters (722 feet) from its first target at the base, a location informally named "Spur B." Sol 148 was a driving sol, with Spirit completing a 64.7-meter (212. 3 feet) engineer-directed drive. This put the rover in position for some sol 149 work with the robotic arm, and provided a great view of the Columbia Hills. |
