Mars Rover Update

Here is a cool map which shows where the rovers are now:

You can see that Opportunity is now at Beagle Crater which is very close to Victoria Crater. It is also clear how huge Victoria crater is.

Spirit has survived the second Mars winter solstice. As sunlight increases it will have enough power to move on.

Opportunity had a software fault, but recovered. It is still studying Beagle Crater.
