NASA picks Greeley Haven for winter rest

NASA recently announced it will take the opportunity to park one of its rovers on an outcrop of rock known as Greeley Haven.

The announcement came just weeks before a Rocky Mountain Lodging Report announced the city of Greeley had the highest occupancy rate in the state for the second month in a row.

NASA could easily swing the average room rate of $67, but Greeley Haven is, in fact, not in Weld County, the state, or even on planet Earth.

So, NASA will situate Opportunity to soak up as much sun possible during the Martian winter.

Greeley Haven — informally named to honor Arizona State University Professor Ronald Greeley, a planetary geologist who passed away last year — provides just the right 15-degree tilt for maximum solar exposure.
