Spirit and Opportunity

Opportunity's panoramic camera (Pancam) took the images that make up this display, from its position outside the Endeavor Crater during the period between June 7 and June 19, 2017. On the right side of the image you can see a wide slot on the summit of the western rim of the crater. This is Perseverance Valley where she is today.

The view seen by Opportunity near the entrance to the "Valley of Persistence" on the rim of Endeavor Crater. The vehicle will now begin to examine whether the channel was formed by flowing water billions of years ago, or by a more "dry" factor such as a drift of wet rock and steam. Source: NASA.

Spirit took this composite image on Madimai Day (Sol) 1,202 (May 21, 2007), when he was exploring an area east of the elevated plain known as the "Home Plain" in the Columbia Hills. The attachment shows an area known as "Gertrude Wise", where you can see Spirit's wheels digging into the sand. The furrow revealed a patch of silica that also contains a name. The source of the material may be from an environment of hot springs or an environment known as fumaroles where an acidic stream bubbles up through cracks in the ground. In any case, its creation must involve water, and on Earth, both of these types of currents contain microbial life. Photo: NASA/JPL
