Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech One of the science instruments being installed on the InSight lander is experiencing a vacuum leak, according to an update posted Dec. 3 on the JPL website. The leak is in the […] An overview of Marathon Valley, seen from Opportunity on March 13, as the rover was positioned at the Valley’s northern side, along the western rim of Endeavour Crater. The scene spans from east, at left, to southeast. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell Univ./Arizona State Univ. With the coming of autumn in the northern hemisphere, the […] View from Opportunity on Mars today! Opportunity’s view on the day the NASA rover exceeded the distance of a marathon on the surface of Mars on March 24, 2015, Sol 3968. Rover stands at Spirit of Saint Louis crater near mountaintop at Marathon Valley overlook and Martian cliffs at Endeavour crater holding deposits […] NASA Opportunity Rover looks ahead to Marathon Valley and Martian cliffs on Endeavour crater holding deposits of water altered clay minerals science treasure on Feb. 10, 2015. Rover operates well after 11 Years trekking Mars. This pancam camera photo mosaic was assembled from images taken on Sol 3927 (Feb. 10, 2015) and colorized. […] |
