Dusty Spirit Rover Seeks Shelter

The below picture shows the Mars Rover Spirit in a self portrait taken on Sol 568. In the picture, the rover is clean and in top condition.


However, dust storms hit the rover in the month of June and Spirit will now seek shelter for the winter. Below is a self-portrait of the rover on Sol 1,358.


The rover will now find shelter for the new winter and hope that it can continue exploring until the proposed end of the mission in 2009. More pictures of the rovers can be found at the following link: http://www.news.com/2300-11397_3-6222461-1.html?tag=ne.gall.pg
