This true color image taken by the panoramic camera onboard Spirit shows Adirondack, the rover's first target rock. The rock was selected as Spirit's first target because its dust-free, flat surface is ideally suited for grinding. Scientists named the angular rock after the Adirondack mountain range in New York. The word Adirondack is Native American and is interpreted by some to mean They of the great rocks. Image Credit: Image Credit: NASA/JPL/Cornell
