NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity extended its cumulative Martian
driving record to more than 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) by crossing 50.51
meters (165.7 feet) of flat ground during the 1,080th Martian day since
arriving on Mars. This view shows the surroundings at the completion of
the day's drive. It is a mosaic of frames taken by Opportunity's
navigation camera.
The drive continued Opportunity's clockwise progress around the rim of
"Victoria Crater," which is visible near the horizon.
Opportunity began its fourth year of exploring Mars in January 2007. Its
mission was originally planned for three months, with a driving-distance
goal of 600 meters (1,969 feet).
