New Opportunities
The Opportunity rover makes tracks as it leaves behind Victoria crater, where it spent most of 2008. The rover, which landed on Mars five years ago for a planned 90-day mission, is now heading toward a much larger crater about seven miles away. It's already covered more than a mile as it navigates potentially treacherous sands, which could bog down the aging rover. [NASA/JPL/Cornell] For more information, see our January 6 program.
