Looking southwest from the lander, soil disturbances indicating the spacecraft rolled through the landing site are visible. Arriving from the east, the lander, still encased in its protective airbags, rolled up a slight rise and then rolled back down to its final position. The inset at left shows displaced rocks near the rock Flat Top. Dark patches of disturbed soil indicate where the rocks had originally rested Both insets show rocks that were pushed into the soil from the weight of the lander, visible from the areas of raised rims of dark, disturbed soil around several rocks. The south summit of Twin Peaks is in the background, while a lander petal, deflated airbag, and rear rover deploy- ment ramp are in the foreground.
One of the more unusual rocks at the site is Ginger, located southeast of the lander. Parts of it have the reddest color of any material in view, whereas its rounded lobes are gray and relatively unweathered. These color differences are brought out in the inset, enhanced at the upper right. In the false color image at the lower right, the shape of the visible- wavelength spectrum (related to the abundance of weathered ferric iron minerals) is indicated by the hue of the rocks. Blue indicates relatively unweathered rocks. Typical soils and drift, which are heavily weathered, are shown in green and flesh tones. Thevery red color in the creases in the rock surface correspond to acrust of ferric minerals. The origin of the rock is uncertain; the ferric crust may have grown underneath the rock, or it may cement pebbles together into a conglomerate. Ginger will be a target of future super- resolution studies to better constrain its origin.

This image from the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) camera shows the rear part of the Sojourner rover, the rolled-up rear ramp, and portions of the partially deflated airbags. The Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer instrument is protruding from the rear (right side) of the rover. The airbags behind the rover are presently blocking the ramp from being safely unfurled. The ramps are a pair of deployable metal reels that will provide a track for the rover as it slowly rolls off the lander, and onto the surface of Mars, once Path- finder scientists determine it is safe to do so. Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASAs Discovery program of low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, developed and manages the Mars Pathfinder mission for NASAs Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL is an operating division of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) was developed by the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory under contract to JPL. Peter Smith is the Principal Investigator.
The prominent hills dubbed Twin Peaks approximately 1-2 kilometers away were imaged by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) as part of a 360-degree color panorama, taken over sols 8, 9 and 10.

The crew of the USS Highlander at Shore Leave
USS MIR At our last membership rally in April at the mall, one of our members asked the man at the Easter Bunny booth if he would take a picture of our Star Trek club. The man agreed, but he thought we were all little kids, so he had a little trouble getting all of us squeezed in around the bunny. From the Klingon at the right ear, the members are Randy Lynch (Chief of Security), Richard Beltran (Crewman), Nancy Lynch (Chief of Operations), Rhonda Reumann (Bajoran Chief of Engineereing), John Johnston (Crewman), Faye Wilbur (Crewman), and at the left ear is Jeff Spurgeon (Command- ing Officer). Amy "Legs" Alexander and Fadm Smith Even though we couldnt get everyone at the rally to get into the picture, everyone was still pleased with the end result. We have already agreed that when Christmas comes around, we have to get a picture with Santa!
