Rover Opportunity on Mars is in the process of exploring Victoria Crater. The rover is looking for evidence of how the crater was formed. The rover has been operative for over 1,300 Martian days which is well beyond its projected 90 days. It is amazing how every small action on Mars for the rover can take days. For example on Sept. 22, Opportunity moved eight whole feet bested by its 24 foot move on Sept. 18. The rover is preparing to begin exploring the contents of the crater with its robotic arm.
