  • Drive Date: October 1, 2024 (Sol 1285)
  • Distance: 38.87 meters (127.54 ft)
  • Climb: 6.07 meters (19.91 ft)
  • 4-tile NavCam image
  • Zig-Zag course was likely to maintain traction on the steep slope covered with loosely packed regolith
  • The path ahead is similar terrain, so I assume we'll see more drives like this during the climb

It's got another 3 months left before it is archived.

I joined in January 2013, but lurked there for a long while before that.

I'll miss it, as I am sure many others will
