“NASA’s Opportunity rover has broken free from the Martian sand dune where it had been stuck for more than a month, the mission’s top scientist announced Saturday. “We’re out!” Cornell astronomer Steve Squyres, principal investigator for the Mars Exploration Rovers, reported in a mission update. Squyres said data from the previous day’s activities at Meridiani Planum indicated that “all six wheels are on top of the soil.”
