Recovering Spirit Sends a New Picture
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit took and returned this image on
January 28, 2004, the first picture from Spirit since problems with
communications began a week earlier. The image from the rover's front
hazard-avoidance camera shows the robotic arm extended to the rock
called Adirondack. As it had been instructed a week earlier, the
Mössbauer spectrometer, an instrument for identifying the minerals in
rocks and soils, is still placed against the rock. Engineers are working
to restore Spirit to working order so that the rover can resume the
scientific exploration of its landing area.
