Re: Dave's other cars keep going

For those that want a more detailed look at Victoria Crater and the region that will be explored, you can take a look at the linked version of this image (warning - big image: 2639 x 2550 pixels)

The rover is currently just to the south-east of the small crater labeled "Emma Dean" (north is up in this image). In this view you can clearly see some of the more rugged areas around the rim of the crater that may include large areas of exposed bedrock.

This high resolution MOC CPROTO image has a resolution of about 50cm/pixel, and was taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft.
