One Year on Mars

Posted by michael on from the tempus-fugit dept.

RetroGeek writes "It has been almost a full year for the Mars rovers. NASA has created a flashback of rover images and information. You can use either HTML or Flash (it is the best use of the technology I have seen). There is even a movie taken from the hazard avoidance camera showing the full year of travel."

    stay tuned as the rovers welcome a brand new year on Mars.

    What does an earth year have to do with a martian year? Nothing thats what!

    One of the things that impressed me most about this mission is when they had to take into account the changing seasons on Mars, and their effect on the rovers.

    We are not only on other planets, but planning for spring!

    Happy new year! (And let's hope the evaporating methane does not mess up the sensors come summer :)
