Spirit has completed the first ever rock grinding on another planet. Spirt used one of her tools, called the Rock Abrasion Tool, or RAT, to grind a 2.6 mm hole into the rock, Adirondack. Needless to say, the team is thrilled and I'm certainly looking forward to the next set of Spirit MI pictures.
And, wow! Check out some of the latest from the Opportunity Pancam and Microscopic Imager:
Pancam showing "Snout" and a lot of those small spherical rocks.
MI close-up of the spherical pebbles (large ones are about 3.5mm).
another MI close-up with better lighting.
