Spirit reaches the summit of Husband Hill
(Image credit NASA/JPL)
After a long and arduous Journey, Spirit has finally reached the summit of Husband Hill, the highest peak in the Columbia Hills range. In this view a distant dust devil spins across the plain. Hopefully some more panormatic views will be forth coming. Spitit has lasted 582 days, far logner than it's original 90 day-estimated lifespan, and produced some exciting science. Spirit will now do some weather observations before heading downhil to some interesting layered terrain.
