PIA07381: Spirit's View on Sol 399 (Polar)


Spirit’s View on Sol 399 (Polar)

Caption:

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit used its navigation camera to capture this view during the rover's 399th martian day, or sol, (Feb. 15, 2005). An attempted drive on that sol did not gain any ground toward nearby "Larry's Lookout" because of slippage that churned the soil on the slope. Spirit used its alpha particle X-ray spectrometer to examine the churned soil. This view is presented in a polar projection with geometric seam correction.
