On the Mars Planet ... in 3-D ... leaving the landing site. The NASA Mars Lander
"Opportunity." This 3-D image captured by the Rover Opportunity's rear hazard identification camera shows the now empty lander that carried the rover 283 million miles to Meridiani Planum, Mars. Opportunity's six wheels successfully rolled off the lander and onto Martian soil on the seventh Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The Rover is approximately 1 meter (three feet) in front of the lander, facing north. Photo credit: NASA / Cornell. www.NASA.gov |

People from all around the planet
Earth have heard of the 2004 NASA Space Mission to Mars and the landing on the planet Mars. The Rover ... the Opportunity and the Spirit. But not nearly as many have seen the actual Spacecraft up Close. This is The Rover that travels through the Universe and brings the Opportunity, and Spirit, robotics onto the Mars surface. |

Image from the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's panoramic camera highlights
the puzzling rock. These layered rocks measure a mere ten centimeters (4 inches) tall and are thought to be either volcanic ash deposits or sediments carried by water or wind. |

Here is a look at The Opportunity and The Spirit robotics Rover.

Did you know that each of the Mars
Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, has 9 "eyes" -- 4 engineering Hazard Avoidance cameras (Hazcams), 2 Navigation cameras (Navcams), 2 science Panoramic cameras (Pancams), and one Science Microscopic Imager ? |

Just a little FYI. According to NASA
Facts ... the term "aeronautics" originated in France, and was derived from the Greek words for "air" and "to sail." On January 1st, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first artificial satellite launched into space by the United States. Onboard was a cosmic ray detector designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit. |

The futuristic looking "hubcaps" were chosen over dozens of other
flecture and spoke options. Designed to absorb shock and to protect the rest of the vehicle during driving. |
