The Rover Opportunity landed on Mars in the Meridiani Planum region on January 25, 2004. This 360 - degree panorama shows “” Endurance Crater”” and the surrounding plains of Meridiani Planum on Mars. It took seven sols to complete this panorama (sols 117 - 123), using 81 separate camera positions. The composite shown here is an approximate true - color rendering / Bridgeman Images

PIX4615862: March - Opportunity - Panorama - 05/2007 - March: D - Star Panorama by Opportunity (False Color) - Panorama in fake colors obtained by the rover Opportunity on 1st May 2007. The Rover Opportunity landed on Mars in the Meridiani Planum region on January 25, 2004. Opportunity reached the Victoria crater (in the background, at the top of the picture) on September 27, 2006 after having travelled more than 9 km on the surface of Mars. On April 29, 2007, the rover tested a new navigation software to optimize its driving. The traces left on Martian soil are visible to the left of the image. The rocks towards the center of the image are 7 to 10 cm high. This view from Opportunity shows the tracks left by a drive executed with more onboard autonomy than has been used on any other drive by a Mars rover. Opportunity made the curving, 15.8 - meter (52 - foot) drive during its 1,160th Martian day, or sol (April 29, 2007). It was testing a navigational capability called “Field D - star,””” which enables the rover to plan optimal long - range drives around any obstacles in order to travel the most direct safe route to the drive's designated destination. Opportunity and its twin, Spirit, did not have this capability until the third year after their January 2004 landings on Mars. Earlier, they could recognize hazards when they approached them closely, then back away and try another angle, but could not always find a safe route away from hazards. Field D - Star and several other upgrades were part of new onboard software uploaded from Earth in 2006. The Sol 1,160 drive by Opportunity was a Martian field test of Field D - Star and also used several other features of autonomy, including visual odometry to track the rover's actual position after each segment of the drive, avoidance of designated keep - out zones, and combining information from two sets of stereo images to consider a wide swath of terrain in analyzing the route. Two days later, on Sol 1,162, (May 1, 2007), Opp / Bridgeman Images

PIX4616118: March: Promethei Planum - Mars: Promethei Planum - Promethei Planum is a region located near the southern pole of Mars. This region is seasonally covered with a thick layer of ice up to 3500 metres thick. On this image obtained by the Mars Express probe on September 22, 2005, an impact crater about 100 km wide and 800 metres deep is visible to the right (north). It is partially covered with ice. In the center of the image, structures formed by lava flows; on the left of the image, ice, which is an extension of the southern polar cap. Promethei Planum, an area seasonally covered with layer of ice more than 3500 m thick layer of ice in the martian south polar region, was the subject of the High Resolution Stereo Camera's focus on 22 September 2005 as Mars Express was in orbit above the Red Planet. Promethei Planum lies at approximately 76* south and 105* east. An approximately 100 km - large and 800 m - deep impact crater is visible in the northern part of the image. The crater's interior is partly covered in ice. In the centre of the image are structures that may have been created by basaltic lava flow from a volcano. This area is covered in ice. The dark dunes towards the bottom of the image are most likely made up of dust originating from this lava flow or volcanic ash. A broad sheet of ice, which is an extension of the south polar ice cap is located south of the lava flow, to the left in the (nadir) image. The steep flanks clearly show white, clean ice. The thickness of the ice is between 900 and 1100 m / Bridgeman Images

PIX4615764: Martian surface seen by Spirit in 2008 - Martian surface seen from the rover Spirit in 2008 - 360 degres panorama obtained by the Martian rover Spirit from February 28 to October 5, 2008. The 246 images that make up this panorama were taken from a tray called the Home Plate. The hill has the horizon on the right is Husband Hill. The hill on the left is McCool Hill. The Rover Spirit landed on Mars in the Gusev crater area on July 4, 2004. This 360 - degree panorama shows the vista from the location where Nasa's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has spent its third Martian southern - hemisphere winter inside Mars' Gusev Crater. The rover's overwintering location is on the northern edge of a low plateau informally called “Home Plate,””” which is about 80 meters or 260 feet in diameter. This view combines 246 different exposures taken with Spirit's panoramic camera (Pancam) - - 82 pointings, with three filters at each pointing. Spirit took the first of these frames during the mission's 1,477th Martian day, or sol, (February 28, 2008) two weeks after the rover made its last move to reach the location where it would stop driving for the winter. Solar energy at Gusev Crater is so limited during the Martian winter that Spirit does not generate enough electricity to drive, nor even enough to take many images per day. The last frame for this mosaic was taken on Sol 1691 (October 5, 2008). Spirit began moving again on Sol 1709 (October 23, 2008), inching uphill to adjust the angle of its solar panels for the last portion of the winter. The hill on the horizon at far right is Husband Hill, to the north. Spirit acquired a 360 - degree panorama from the summit of Husband Hill during August 2005. The hill dominating the left portion of the image is McCool Hill. Husband and McCool hills are two of the seven principal hills in the Columbia Hills range within Gusev Crater. Home Plate is in the inner basin of the range. The northwestern edge of Home Plate is visible in th / Bridgeman Images

PIX4615848: March - Opportunity - Cratere Victoria 09 - 2006 - March: Victoria crater seen from rover Opportunity - Panorama obtained by the rover Opportunity on 28 and 29 September 2006. The Rover Opportunity landed on Mars in the Meridiani Planum region on January 25, 2004. Opportunity reached the Victoria crater on September 27, 2006 after travelling more than 9 km on the surface of Mars. The Victoria crater is about 800 metres wide and its south face on the left is about 6 metres above ground. This image taken by the panoramic camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the view of Victoria Crater from Duck Bay. Opportunity reached Victoria Crater on Sol 951 (September 27, 2006) after traversing 9.28 kilometers (5.77 miles) since her landing site at Eagle Crater. Victoria Crater is roughly 800 meters (one - half mile) wide - - about five times wider than Endurance Crater, and 40 times as wide as Eagle crater. The south face of the 6 meter (20 foot) tall layered Cape Verde promontory can be seen in the left side of the inner crater wall, about 50 meters (about 165 feet) away from the rover at the time of the imaging. The north face of the 15 meter (50 foot) tall stack of layered rocks called Cabo Frio can be seen on the right side of the inner crater wall. This mosaic was taken on Sols 952 and 953 (September 28 and 29, 2006). There are 30 separate pointings through 6 different filters at each pointing / Bridgeman Images
