About Endeavour crater
Endeavour is an impact crater about 22 km (14 mi) across. It is old and worn: today it is only 200 to 500 m (660 to 1,640 ft) deep, and its rim survives as separate hills that stand 10 to 100 m (33 to 330 ft) above the plains.
NASA's Opportunity rover landed about 22 km (14 mi) to the northwest on January 25, 2004 (UTC), reached Endeavour on August 9, 2011, and passed marathon distance there in March 2015. Its last contact was on June 10, 2018, during a planet-wide dust storm, in Perseverance Valley on the crater's western rim. Designed for 90 Martian days, it drove 45.16 km (28.06 mi) in all.
