I'm jacked!US engineering at its best! Rover Opportunity has spent 2 years crossing a lot of barren desert-like territory to get over here. Its amazing its been able to keep on truckin'. I hope they get some nice data from this area.

Wow! We have a satellite orbiting Mars that can photograph a little remote controlled rover.
That should scare our enemies.
Wait, I'm sure the Democrats will complain NASA is invading the privacy of the rover.

Is that water in the crater? Looks like it to me.

The largest photo of the whole crater is amazing. You can clearly see the direction the prevailing winds blow, and the dunes on the floor of the crater are spectacular. I'd love to have a huge blowup of that photo.

Very exciting! Thanks for posting.

The Mars-orbiting NASA satellite took a picture as it passed Victoria Crater and actually captured the Rover sitting on the edge of the crater. That is an amazing picture! Nice to get away from the terrestrial concerns for a bit with stuff like this. Thanks!

It's amazing to think that if one were standing next to the rover, no matter how far he could see or travel, he would not encounter a single living thing. No animals, no plants; nothing living on the surface of the planet. You can bet he'd be calling the rover "Rover".
"Rooooooverrrrrrrrrrrr!"

What does this thing run on?
I thought the mission was only 3 months too!
Solar, mini nuke or battery?
To: DoctorMichael
It looks like there is a nice ramp that will lead to the crater floor. Love to see what those crazed, dried mud looking features are in there.
