Spirit's Trip So Far
Feb. 24, 2004 — This map shows Spirit's path over the last 45 sols, or Martian days. When the rover reached "Laguna Hollow," it had driven 131 meters (430 feet) from its lander's location. On the horizon behind the lander looms the landmark named "Grissom Hill." Over the relatively flat traverse, Spirit has made observations of rocks such as "Adirondack" and investigated soil in several locations. Spirit stayed at "Laguna Hollow" for 3 sols, dug a trench and observed the floor and wall of it with three of the instruments on its arm. Spirit is about halfway to the edge of the crater dubbed "Bonneville."
