Record Drive Day, Opportunity Sol 383

March 5, 2005
This cylindrical projection shows NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity's view of its surroundings on Feb. 19, 2005. Opportunity had reached the eastern edge of a small crater dubbed 'Naturaliste,' seen in the right foreground.

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity set a one-day distance record for martian driving on the rover's 383rd martian day, or sol, which began on Feb. 19, 2005. Opportunity rolled 177.5 meters (582 feet) across the plain of Meridiani on that sol. It used its navigation camera after the drive to take the images that are combined into this mosaic view. The view is presented here in a cylindrical projection with geometric seam correction.
