NASA's Spirit rover has successfully driven to its first target on Mars, a football-sized rock that scientists have dubbed Adirondack. The Mars Exploration Rover flight team at JPL plans to send commands to Spirit to examine Adirondack with a microscope and two instruments that reveal the composition of rocks.
