Nasa's Opportunity Mars rover is nearing the end of a nearly three year trek across the red planet on the latest part of its marathon exploration mission.
The rover - on Mars since 2004 - is headed for the 14 mile wide Endeavour crater, where NASA scientists hope to explore ancient rocks in their continuing hunt for life on the barren surface.
Opportunity is headed for a place called Spirit point, named in honour of its sister rover which ceased communication and was declared lost May 24.
