| 释义 |
Solander Point is at the north end of the west-southwestern ridgeline of Endeavour crater on the planet Mars. It is named after the Swedish scientist Daniel Solander, who was the first university-educated scientist to set foot on Australian soil at Botany Bay in 1770. Solander Point was visited in 2013 by the Mars Exploration Rover-B Opportunity, a robotic rover that has been active on Mars since 2004.[1] By early July 2013 Opportunity was approaching it from the North, after previously examining outcrops on the northwest edge of the crater, north of Solander.[2] The rover drove south from Cape York through Botany Bay to travel to Solander.[3] By July 2, 2013, it was about half-way there.[3] The area was imaged from Martian orbit by HiRISE on July 8, 2013, data which aids the rover team in understanding the terrain and planning rover traverses.[4] The rover has been making good time on its approach to Solander, giving the opportunity to investigate a curious area of terrain in the crater.[5][6] At the start of August, the rover was less than 100 meters (328 ft) from Solander,[7] and arrived at its base in the following days.[8] Its arrival signaled the availability of a northward facing slope, useful for angling to collect more sunlight during the Martian winter.[8] In October and November 2013, the rover climbed up the north end of Solander.[11] By December 2013, the rover reached the top of Solander point hill as the 10 year anniversary of its landing on Mars neared.[9] After Solander point Opportunity moved along Murray Ridge, and then south to Cape Tribulation.[10] Between Solander Point and, to north of it Cape York, both of which are raised up, is a lower area that is noted to be a part of the Burns Formation.[11] The Burns Formation extends all the way back to Opportunity's landing site by Eagle crater, and it was heavily studied prior to this time by the rover.[12] The Burns Formation is "high in sulfate bearing minerals" according to NASA.[13] Solander Point lies at the geological contact line between the Burns Formation, and what is though to be an even older geological region.[14] Solander point{{clear}}{{Clear}}Map showing journey of MER-B near Solander Point{{Clear}}Geological regions around Solander{{Clear}}Rover views of Solander{{clear}}{{Wide image|Pia17366 sol-3463-navcam 1.jpg|780px|This is a southward uphill view as the rover ascended the mountain in October 2013.
