Related: About this forumStunning panorama from Opportunity rover on Mars marks 11th year
A panoramic view of the desert world next door, from one of the highest elevations reached by the Mars rover Opportunity in its 11 years on the Red Planet.
Eleven years on Mars for the rover Opportunity! And the robotic rover is still working. The rovers work on Mars was initially planned for three months. It marked the 11th anniversary of its own January 25, 2004 landing on Mars with a new panorama, gained from the top of the Cape Tribulation segment of the rim of Endeavour Crater. The rover had reached this point three weeks before acquiring the panorama on January 22, 2015.
