( 2004-01-26 11:35) (NASA)
This 'postcard' from the panoramic camera on
the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows a view of the martian landscape
southwest of the rover. The image was taken in the late martian afternoon
at Meridiani Planum on Mars, where Opportunity landed on January 24,
2004 and was released by NASA on January 25. [NASA] |
This image, taken by the Mars Exploration
Rover Opportunity's panoramic camera made available on Sunday, shows where
the rover's airbags left impressions in the martian soil. The drag marks
were made after the rover successfully landed at Meridiani Planum and
its airbags were retracted. The rover can be seen in the foreground.
The unmanned, six-wheeled rover landed at 9:05 pm PST January 24, 2004
in Meridiani Planum, NASA said. [NASA] |
This image, taken by the Mars Exploration
Rover Opportunity's hazard-identification camera shortly after the

to Earth on January 25, 2004, delighting and puzzling scientists just
hours after the spacecraft bounced to a landing. [NASA] |

US Principal Investigator from Cornell
University Dr Steve Squyres describes what they have found from the
latest images from Mars during a news conference at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, California January 25, 2004. Behind Squyres is a photo

which landed late January 24, 2004.
