Greeley Haven

NASA's Mars rover Opportunity will spend the long Martian winter at a rocky outcrop on the rim of Endeavour Crater dubbed Greeley Haven by the rover team. The spot will allow Opportunity to keep its solar panels trained on the Sun through the winter, as well as providing some interesting rocks for study in the immediate vicinity.

Greeley Haven is named for Ron Greeley, a planetary scientist involved in the exploration of Mars since the early days of Mariner. Greeley died last October.
