Journey To The Center Of MarsHuntsville AL (SPX) Feb 26, 2010 February 24, 2010: Mars rover Spirit has tenaciously swept, scraped, and squeezed secrets from the forbidding surface of Mars for 6 years. Now at an impasse, up to its belly in sand, it has struggled to tilt its solar panels toward the sun and collect just enough power to survive the perilously cold Martian winter. If Spirit can make it through to spring, the feisty robot will prove it's still in the game-by solving the mysteries of the Martian core. Unlocking those secrets will require the guile ... read more |

Spirit Parks For The WinterPasadena CA (JPL) Feb 17, 2010 Spirit is now parked for the winter in the embedded area called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. The last winter-preparatory movement of the rover was commanded on Sol 2169 (Feb. 8, 2010). The rover was commanded to flatten the suspension system on the right side and accentuate the suspension wheelie on the left side, all to enhance northerly tilt. Very little change in tilt was achieved. At this point, the project is now adjusting various rover parameters and positioning t ... read more |
