This photo was stitch together from many smaller photos. The Detail is stunning at 5463 x 7595 pixels that is a 41.5M pixel image !!

Go to the link, it may take a while to download, but zoom in and pan around to see the high resolution details !

For Ham Radio QRP, Hardware, and Robotic Geeks - it does not get better than this !

Thanks JPL and NASA !!

Now we need someone to explain all of the devices on the Rover, like:

• What is that waveguide driven vertical antenna on the back left-side of the rover (upper right in the photo)?
• What are thosee funnel shaped cones on the front? Are those small linear actuators used for positioning?
• What is that Large Grey Cross bar on the Top?

And, maybe someone will make a Trimble (Google) Sketchup of the Rover ?
