March - Opportunity - Cratere Victoria 09 - 2006 - March: Victoria crater seen from rover Opportunity - Panorama obtained by the rover Opportunity on 28 and 29 September 2006. The Rover Opportunity landed on Mars in the Meridiani Planum region on January 25, 2004. Opportunity reached the Victoria crater on September 27, 2006 after travelling more than 9 km on the surface of Mars. The Victoria crater is about 800 metres wide and its south face on the left is about 6 metres above ground. This image taken by the panoramic camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity shows the view of Victoria Crater from Duck Bay. Opportunity reached Victoria Crater on Sol 951 (September 27, 2006) after traversing 9.28 kilometers (5.77 miles) since her landing site at Eagle Crater. Victoria Crater is roughly 800 meters (one - half mile) wide - - about five times wider than Endurance Crater, and 40 times as wide as Eagle crater. The south face of the 6 meter (20 foot) tall layered Cape Verde promontory can be seen in the left side of the inner crater wall, about 50 meters (about 165 feet) away from the rover at the time of the imaging. The north face of the 15 meter (50 foot) tall stack of layered rocks called Cabo Frio can be seen on the right side of the inner crater wall. This mosaic was taken on Sols 952 and 953 (September 28 and 29, 2006). There are 30 separate pointings through 6 different filters at each pointing
