A single colour frame ( if you dont have the colour frame itself - list the three frames with links to Exploratorium or JPL raw images ) from Pancam . No Hazcam or Navcam images here - just a single composite frame from Pancam. - Must be one of L256, L257, L456 or L457 (others struggle to remotely represent real colours )

Sol 002 - Back of HGA - Columbia dedication

This is mine. Shortly after the Columbia accident - I emailed the Athena team at Cornell, begging them to put some sort of dedication to the crew on the rover - a tiny little decal of the mission patch on the lander base or some detail like that - and they did. I was one of the few people to spot that they'd done this when I saw a pcture of this on the KSC media website - but kept fairly quiet about it. I THINK they actually posted one on the back of both rovers HGA's - to ensure that if they met mission success ( one lander landing safely ) they'd be able to do the dedication.

Well, this wasn't really the same single frame for everybody, but I think everyone recognised the target eventually.

Spirit had landed on rocky plains, nothing but ejecta visible. Spirit climbed to the rim of the Bonneville crater, with scientist hoping what they were after would be visible in the hole. No such luck. At this point everybody was a bit dejected, as it was a long way to the next best possibility. But on the way to the Columbia Hills Spirit and we eventually saw it: outcrops!

It's strange how beautiful a block of stone can be. Four works of art made of rock and shadow: ( from http://www.lyle.org/mars/ )

Sol 78: Boulder in the Bonneville ejecta blanket.


Sol 99: Flat boulder between Bonneville and Missoula covered in sand drifts.


Sol 128: Similar rock, but better shadows.


Sol 168: Two eroded rocks at the base of the Columbia Hills.
