Opportunity to Enter Victoria Crater

Lydia

Opportunity has outlasted its original 90 day life expectancy and along with its sibling Spirit, has revealed more information about Mars than we ever wished or hoped for.
Opportunity is now embarking on another valuable and fantastic journey, deep into scalloped cliff-like rimmed Victoria Crater, by means of an alcove called Duck Bay. Victoria Crater is a mere 4 miles south of Opportunity's original landing sight. Opportunity has been sleuthing around this crater for the past 9 months and is now ready for further exploration into the crater in search for clues of ancient wet environments.

Spirit lost a wheel about a year ago, rendering impossible its crater sleuthing abilities and all are hoping Opportunity will not suffer the same fate, which would then keep Opportunity forever "encratered".

A brilliant use of the english language. So after many months skirting the issue the clamshaped ridges of victoria's crater will be explored further in hope of a moist interior. Wink
