The Road to Victoria Crater on Mars
Explanation:
Here is a
road never traveled
.
To get to
Victoria Crater
on
Mars
, the rolling robotic rover Opportunity must traverse the landscape
shown above
.
Victoria Crater lies about one
kilometer
ahead.
The intervening terrain shows a series of
light rock outcrops
that appears like some sort of
cobblestone road
.
Surrounding this naturally-occurring Martian road, is Martian
sand ripples
that must be
navigated
around.
Inspection of the outcrop road shows it to be sprinkled with many
small round rocks
dubbed
blueberries
.
Opportunity and its sister robot Spirit
continue
their third year exploring Mars.
Within the next month, planetary scientists hope to maneuver
Opportunity
across
Meridiani Planum
to get a good view of 800-meter diameter Victoria Crater.
