Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter fotografiaza sondele de pe Marte...

[Alex Dumitriu]

Salutare!

Dupa cum spune si subiectul mesajului, cea mai noua sonda orbitala trimisa catre Marte, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MRO pe scurt, a trimis catre noi imagini cu cateva din sondele robotizate aflate pe suprafata planetei; imaginile au fost luate cu camera de inalta rezolutie HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment - camera de inalta rezolutie pt experimente stiintifice), al carei program de activitate a inceput pe 7 nov. 2006, in a 1330-a orbita MRO. In continuare voi pune adresele imaginilor trimise de MRO, impreuna cu mici explicatii:

1. Roverele programului Mars Exploration Rover, 2004:

a. Roverul Spirit (zona Craterul Gusev):
