Opportunity On Mars
The Mars Opportunity rover has driven 25.9 miles (41.7 kilometers) since
it landed in the Meridiani Planum region of Mars on Jan. 25, 2004. That
is farther than any other off-Earth surface vehicle has driven. The
rover's work on Mars was initially planned for three months.
During that prime mission and for more than a decade of bonus performance in extended missions, Opportunity has returned compelling evidence about wet environments on ancient Mars.
