Dark Sands
This mosaic was acquired by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit on Sol 077 (March 21, 2004). The heatshield can be seen here
as a shiny area on the far rim of Bonneville Crater. Two other
mosaics of this heatshield were taken on sols 75 and 79. This view is
approximately 30 degrees across. Pancam's 601nm, 535nm, and 482nm filters were used in making this mosaic. Two versions are provided at full resolution: an approximate true color rendering, and a false color rendering which enhances the subtle color differences in the scene.
