      niesamowite... oby tylko bylo warto ryzykowac ugrzezniecie w nim na stale...
      (mnie najbardziej interesuje to, co tam jest na dnie)

      przed nosem ma 40-stopniowa stromizne...
      musi znalezc lagodniejszy punkt wejscia...

      crater's formation as well as a suitable entry point to the crater. "

        zgodnie z tym co napisali to wynika ze warto ryzykowac - tak, moze juz nie
        wyjechac - licza sie z tym.

          Maja zamiar wjechac tylko 5 do 8 m w glab. Zjazdu na dno nie bedzie (chyba, ze
          sie obsunie, nie da rady wrocic lub... skoziolkuje)...

          <<Richard Cook, project manager at JPL for the rovers, said that
          reaching one exposure of the older rock layers inside Endurance
          requires driving only about 5 to 7 meters (16 to 23 feet) into the
          130-meter-diameter (140-yard-diameter) crater. The rover is on the rim
          at that site, which had been dubbed "Karatepe."

          "We'll take an incremental approach, edging our way down to the
          target," Cook said. The plan is to use the tools on Opportunity's
          robotic arm to analyze the exposed layers for several days, then drive
          in reverse back up the slope and exit the crater. The slope between
          the rim and the layered outcrop at Karatepe is about 25 degrees.

          "We have done testing that says we can do 25 degrees, provided the
          wheels are on a rock surface and not loose sand," Cook said. Engineers
          and scientists on the rover team built a test surface mimicking the
          rocks and sand seen in Opportunity's images of Endurance Crater. The
          surface was tilted to 25 degrees, and a test rover climbed it. If
          portions of the route to the outcrop turn out to be between 25 and 30
          degrees, the team plans to proceed slowly and use Opportunity to
          assess the amount of traction the rover is getting. >>

            jak wjada te 8 metrow i potem ani rusz z powrotem pod gore to oczywiscie co im
            pozostanie .. zjezdzac na sam dol. Jazda w dol chociaz malo kosztuje.
