The images on the left are from FIDO's pair of navigational cameras
called Navcam. These two Navcam images were taken when the rover
was 5 meters away from the lander. The upper left image shows a hill
named Stony Point. The lower left image shows a red line pointing to
the rock named Kaibab, which is 4.3 meters wide.
The image on the right was taken from orbit by the Mars Observer
Camera, looking down on the landing site from above.
On Sol 10, the engineering team identified the location of the rover,
using UHF ranging data, to be somewhere in the 200 meter diameter
red circle. Using directions-to-features on the horizon, the science team
determined the precise position of the lander as shown by the red X
in the circle. The red lines show the location of the images on the left
in the orbital image on the right.
