THE ROUTE: A view of Spirit's landing site taken by the Mars Global Surveyor shows the rover's planned route. Engineers plan to send the rover about 820 feet (250 meters) from the green point to the rim of a nearby crater. Spirit will then head toward the East Hill Complex. Their tops are about 1-2 miles (2-3 kilometers) from the rover's estimated landing site.
