Mars rover on the move again

The Mars rover Opportunity was cuising the Martian landscape at almost 200 m per day, until it got stuck in loose sand on April 25. Since then it's been creeping backwards at about 2 meters per day, its wheels at least half buried in loose sand. I was reported today that the Opportunity has freed itself. The next plan is to analyze the sand it was trapped in. Link.
