Opportunity View on Sol 398

March 17, 2005
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took this cylindrical projection 360-degree view of the rover's surroundings on March 6, 2005. Opportunity had completed a drive across the rippled flatland of the Meridiani Planum region.

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity used its navigation camera to take the images combined into this 360-degree view of the rover's surroundings on the 398th martian day, or sol, of its surface mission (March 7, 2005). Opportunity drove 95 meters (312 feet) toward "Vostok Crater" that sol before taking the images. The drive was done in four steps: three "blind-drive" segments followed by a segment using the rover's autonomous navigation. This location is catalogued as Opportunity's site 49. The view is presented in a cylindrical projection with geometric seam correction.
