NEWS SPAZIO :- Nel Gennaio scorso avevamo lasciato il Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity sul bordo occidentale del cratere Santa Maria, come potete constatare dal precedente post
Ebbene, dopo tre mesi di analisi delle rocce che ha incontrato il piccolo rover è quasi pronto a riprendere il proprio cammino verso il grande cratere Endeavour .
But Mars' orbit, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter experiment with telescopic camera HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) Opportunity has photographed in this wonderful picture (see the arrow).
The photo above was taken on March 1, 2011 (2524 ° Sol, or Martian day into the mission) and "Oppy" was extending its robotic arm to take pictures from a close rock named "Ruiz Garcia."
In the top are clearly distinguishable traces left by the rover to the west on their way to the crater Santa Maria, whose diameter is about 90 meters.
From the surface, the view is very different. Here, at the same location as Ruiz Garcia was taken on the same day by the hazard-avoidance camera front of the robot.

And here we have the details of Garcia captured by the Microscopic Imager (see it on top of the robotic arm in the photo above)
