Scored: the first interplanetary hole-in-one
Scored: the first interplanetary hole-in-one On April 10, 2017, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera onboard MRO captured this image of Opportunity’s landing site in Meridiani Planum. You can actually see the landing platform the rover left behind in Eagle Crater in 2004 (upper right of center) and the robot’s nearby parachute and backshell (lower left of center).This is the first HiRISE color view of the Eagle Crater scene.
