Spirit arrived at King George Island on Sol 1022 (Dec. 17, 2006) after a
short bump (very short drive) from a disturbed soil target nicknamed
"Bear Island." Upon arrival, Spirit took a mosaic of microscopic images
of King George and collected data using the alpha-particle X-ray and
Moessbauer spectrometers. Spirit then brushed the target with the wire
bristles on the rock abrasion tool before collecting more alpha-particle
X-ray and Moessbauer data for comparison with data from the unbrushed
surface.
It arrived on Dec 17, 2006? That's fascinating.
Can NASA tell me the winning lottery number for that week, as well?
