PIA05883: Spirit Keeps on Trekking (3-D)


Spirit Keeps on Trekking (3-D)

Caption:

This three-dimensional view in a cylindrical-perspective projection was created from navigation camera images that NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit acquired on sol 121 (May 6, 2004). Continuing its trek toward the "Columbia Hills," Spirit drove 96.8 meters (318 feet) -- half of which was performed in auto-navigation mode -- and broke its record for the longest distance traveled in one sol. That drive brought the mission total to 1,669 meters (1.04 miles), flipping the rover's odometer over the one-mile mark.

See PIA05884 for left eye view and PIA05885 for right eye view of this 3-D cylindrical-perspective projection.
