On Earth, hikers are set on "bagging peaks," making it all the way to the summits of mountains. On Mars, Opportunity has been bagging craters!
The team operating NASA's Opportunity rover has chosen southeast as the direction for the rover's next extended journey, toward a crater more than 20 times wider than "Victoria Crater."
NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity climbed out of "Victoria Crater" following the tracks it had made when it descended into the 800-meter-diameter (half-mile-diameter) bowl nearly a year earlier.
