<br/><br/> "NASA's Spirit rover survived its fiery plunge through the thin Martian atmosphere Saturday evening [Jan. 3, 2004], bouncing across the planet's red landscape to a jarring but safe landing at Gusev Crater. Within hours, the rover began transmitting its first images of Mars, a series of stunning views of the area around the lander." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) This article describes the landing of the Mars rover Spirit on the Martian surface.
