This 360-degree view combines frames taken by the navigation camera on
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit during the rover's 271st martian
day, or sol, on Oct. 7, 2004. The rover had just driven into position for
using the tools on its robotic arm (not in the picture) to examine a
layered rock called "Tetl" in the "Columbia Hills." Spirit's total driving
distance from its landing to this point was 3,641 meters (2.26 miles),
more than six times the distance set as a criterion for mission success.
The three-dimensional view is presented here in a cylindrical projection with geometric
seam correction.
Figure 1 is the left-eye view of a stereo pair and Figure 2 is the
right-eye view of a stereo pair.
