» Astronomy Pic of the Day: Opportunity at Perseverance Valley
Opportunity had
already reached
Perseverance Valley by June of 2018.
Its
view is reconstructed in a colorized mosaic of images taken
by the Mars
Exploration Rover's Navcam.
In fact, Perseverance Valley is an appropriate name for
the destination.
Designed for a 90 day mission,
Opportunity had traveled across Mars for
over 5,000 sols (martian solar days) following a January 2004
landing in Eagle crater.
Covering a
total distance
of over 45 kilometers (28 miles),
its intrepid journey of exploration across the Martian landscape
has come to a close here.
On June 10, 2018,
the last transmission from the solar-powered rover was received as
a dust storm engulfed the Red Planet.
Though the storm has subsided, eight months of attempts to contact
Opportunity have not been successful and its trailblazing mission
ended after almost 15
years of exploring the surface of Mars.
