Opportunity Spent Holiday at 'Turkey Haven'Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 08, 2011 Opportunity spent the Thanksgiving holiday at a location called "Turkey Haven," on the north end of Cape York on the rim of Endeavour Crater. This particular location provided favorable northerly tilts and may be a candidate for the winter haven location. On Sol 2787 (Nov. 26, 2011), the rover employed the robotic arm to collect some Microscopic Imager (MI) images of a surface target and then collect an Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) measurement on the same. On Sol 2790 (Nov. 29, 2 ... read more |
