Route map of Oppy’s recent roves
Route map of Oppy’s recent roves Mars Atlas author Phil Stooke recently posted this zoomed-in view of Opportunity rovings in November 2017 at UnmannedSpaceflight.com, a project of The Planetary Society, where he regularly posts update route maps. He “roughly” fit surface images to features in the HiRISE base image. With this work, the rover’s detailed movements can be plotted “more reliably,” he noted. Stooke determined the locations by pin-pointing the rover wheels in the images the rover took with her Hazard Cameras. NASA / JPL-Caltech / University of Arizona / P. Stooke
