A new mission A new mission dawned at Endeavour Crater in August as Opportunity drove deeper into Perseverance Valley and into distinctive, challenging terrain. Stuart Atkinson processed this artistic vision from the raw image that Opportunity sent home. An author, astronomy outreach educator, and contributor to The Planetary Society’s Amateur Space Images Archive, Atkinson has followed this rover’s journey for years. See his The Road to Endeavour.
