250 meter traverse: timeline and data
Rocky 7 successfully completed a 250 m traverse through cratered, rock-strewn areas similar to those rovers will encounter on Mars.

Close-up Imager test: timeline and data
During the 250 m traverse, Rocky 7's ability to place itself near a designated rock and obtain close-up images of the rock's surface using the rover's mast-mounted close-up imager was tested. This data is contained in the timeline for the 250m traverse.
