测完顶峰测盆地－机器人火星之旅_科技Science
los angeles - spirit, the robot on wheels that reached the top of a martian hill this summer after an epic climb, is heading back down toward its next target for exploration.
after two months at the summit of husband hill, the six-wheeled rover is descending to a basin where the scientific instruments it carries will examine an outcrop dubbed "home plate" because from orbit it looks like home on a baseball field.
last month, scientists released the first full-color panoramic photo of the landscape taken by spirit from the 270-foot-high summit. it shows the rover’s distinct tracks in the dust, the flat plains of the surrounding gusev crater region and distant plateaus on the crater rim.
