Beside 'Vostok Crater' (polar)

March 17, 2005
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity took this polar projection 360-degree view of the rover's surroundings on March 8, 2005 at Vostok Crater. Much of the crater is buried in sand.

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 399th martian day, or sol, of its surface mission (March 8, 2005). Opportunity drove 35 meters (115 feet) that sol and reached the edge of "Vostok Crater" before taking the images. Sand has buried much of the crater. This location is catalogued as Opportunity's site 50. The view is presented in a polar projection with geometric seam correction.
