Mars Rover Tracks Erased From Existence
Posted in: Mars, Missions by Nancy Atkinson

<<This pair of images documents the erasure of rover tracks and rocket blasts at Opportunity’s landing site in Meridiani Planum over a period of more than a Martian year. Faint tracks leading from Eagle crater to Fram crater are pointed out (top), acquired in April 2004. These tracks, and the conspicuous bright patches left by the landing rocket blasts, were largely absent from the early HiRISE image, acquired November 2006). Remnant tracks were preserved at Fram crater.>>
