This zoomed-in overhead view of Spirit's estimated landing site and surrounding area shows the rover's potential

This zoomed-in overhead view of Spirit's estimated landing site and surrounding area shows the rover's potential "itinerary." Scientists and engineers plan to drive the rover approximately 250 meters (820 feet) from the green point to the rim of a nearby crater measuring 192 meters (630 feet) in diameter. They then plan to drive toward the east hills, the tops of which measure 2-3 kilometers (1-2 miles) away from the rover's estimated landing site.   (26/66)
