Opportunity: Sol 3739, July 31, 2014

3739-pancam-pan-1200The Pancam looked south toward the yet-untouched lower slopes of Cape Tribulation (three-frame composite). The filter used (left-side #7) favored blue wavelengths, so the reddish ground appears dark. Note the rover tracks at right, which halt abruptly like an unfinished stub of railroad track. These show how far south Opportunity traveled before mission controllers turned it around on Sol 3737 and drove back north about 30 meters (100 feet) to examine mineral details in a bypassed outcrop.

Opportunity raw images, its latest mission status, and a location map. (A shortcut to Sol 3739 Pancam images is here.)
