Spirit Update

[Elysium Fossa]

In case anyone missed it:

The flight team for NASA's Spirit received data from the rover in a
communication session that began at 13:26 Universal Time (5:26 a.m. PST) and
lasted 20 minutes at a data rate of 120 bits per second.

"The spacecraft sent limted data in a proper response to a ground command,
and we're planning for commanding further communication sessions later
today," said Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager Pete Theisinger at
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

The flight team at JPL had sent a command to Spirit at 13:02 Universal Time
(5:02 PST) via the NASA Deep Space Network antenna complex near Madrid,
Spain, telling Spirit to begin transmitting.
