Animation software used by engineers for planning rover drives portrays the location of the NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity on April 26, 2004, at the successful completion of 90 sols of operating on Mars, the amount of time set in advance for the rover's primary mission. The scene is from the panoramic camera, with the crater dubbed "Endurance" on the horizon, still a few days' drives away.
