Rover «Opportunity» took the first pictures of the crater «Endeavour»

Rover «Opportunity», after a three-year path length of 22 kilometers, reached its new goal - the crater «Endeavour». Your route rover began in 2008 after a study of the crater «Victoria», which is several times less than the current object of study.

Despite the fact that «Opportunity» already exceeded the planned term missions more than twenty times, he will continue to study the new crater, as «Endeavour» contains unique clay minerals, which presumably were formed at a time when Mars was wet and warm.
