Spirit, a robotic explorer, landed in Gusev Crater on January
3, 2004. Gusev Crater may be an ancient lakebed, although there is no
liquid water present there now. At left is an artist's impression of the
rover. |
Below are images of Gusev Crater. At left is a MOLA image showing where in
the crater Spirit landed. The elevations are shown on the key below. At
right is a Viking 1 image of Gusev crater with the landing ellipse marked.
