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?
