Eagle Eye on Opportunity's Crater :: Astrobiology Magazine :: Search for Life in the Universe (400 words)
Summary (Mar 23, 2004): After slippage first prevented the Opportunity rover from escaping a crater, now informally called Eagle Crater, the wheels traversed a different route as the rover turned and took another startling panorama of what has been its home base.
The drive along the crater's inner slope that was initiated on the last sol continued this sol until Opportunity exited its landing-site crater.
Controllers sent it on a different route for exiting the crater and images from the navigation camera confirmed that the rover is now about 9 meters (about 29.5 feet) outside of the crater.
