Earlier today on Mars - Another drive by Perseverance rover. This L-NavCam was acquired just before the end of the drive on Sol 1140, it provides a nice view down Neretva Vallis (upper right)
Another drive by Perseverance rover on sol 1137, takes the rover further West to site number 52.0748. This L-NavCam was assembled and roughly processed using all 16 available tiles (edited as the tiles are now in)
A look at a small section of Curiosity's workspace in this composite image assembled from 4 Bayer reconstructed R-MastCam frames that were assembled in MS-ICE. The images are from December 27, 2023 (sol 4049) at site 105/1108 after a short drive/climb a few sols earlier. The rover is located at the head of Gediz Vallis (see map) I've also attached the drive data. Image credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/USGS/fredk)
Perseverance made a short drive to the north on December 4th, 2023 to site 47/94. We don't have all the post drive images or map data etc at this time, but we do have this post-drive tiled NavCam that features the interesting outcrop called 'Barrabiddy', this outcrop was studied from the rover's previous location, but it appears they decided to take a closer look at Barrabiddy.

Perseverance rover is checking out the condition of its systems after solar conjunction. In this image we can see the rover's 'Bit Carousel' (image center). The rover acquired this photo using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm. The raw image was acquired on December 2, 2023 (Sol 990) at the local mean solar time of 11:45. NASA/JPL-Caltech #PerseveranceRover#Marsrover#Mars#NASA#JPL
#PPOD: If you look carefully, you can see a small, bright object just left of center in this image. Can you spot it? That's NASA's Curiosity rover, photographed from Mars orbit. This image was taken by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) on 18 April 2021. The image has a resolution of 25 cm per pixel, and north is up. At the time the image was taken, MRO was 269 km above the rover. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UArizona/Paul Byrne
Looks like a long drive on September 29, 2023 (sol 927)
to site: 45/1714 by #PerserveranceRover
Here's one of the roughly processed/assembled end-of-drive 2x2 tiled NavCam images. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
Curiosity rover's current workspace imaged on mission sol 3931 (August 29, 2023) after a drive of 64.6 meters (212 ft). The composite image was assembled from six overlapping left-side MastCam frames. It covers an area about 2 meters (~6 feet) across. Also provided is the updated traverse map and the drive data.
Cet été, j'ai eu la chance de visiter le JPL, ce centre de la NASA où sont conçues, assemblées et testées la plupart des sondes et rovers américains qui explorent le Système solaire. Un récit de ma visite pour vous emmener dans cet endroit mythique. 1/37 @nasajpl@NASA#NASA#JPL
C'est cadeau : 3 autres photos de MAGGIE. Sur la dernière, on réalise la longueur du câble électrique qui alimente le rover, véritable cordon ombilical qui lui permet de se déplacer sur le Mars Yard. 11/37 #Curiosity#marsrover#CuriosityRover#NASA#JPL
J'ai pu tenir en main un exemplaire d'ingénierie de la perceuse de Curiosity. C'est lourd ! On voit le tube par lequel le matériau prélevé va dans SAM ou CheMin. La dernière photo montre des tests de forage. Un trou fait le diamètre de l'auriculaire. 13/37 #Curiosity#marsrover#CuriosityRover#NASA#JPL
Depuis quelques années, la perceuse de Curiosity ne fonctionne plus aussi bien et la poussière prélevée ne peut plus passer par le tube. Pour la distribuer aux labos SAM et CheMin, le rover met sa perceuse au-dessus des orifices et la secoue. 14/37 #Curiosity#marsrover#CuriosityRover#NASA#JPL
Nous sommes ensuite entrés dans le garage du "Scarecrow", un robot constitué uniquement du système de mobilité des rovers (voir 4e image, crédit NASA library), sous la bâche en Mylar.
Au fond, de nombreuses roues pour les tests. Celles de Curiosity sont plus sales ! 17/37 #Curiosity#CuriosityRover#NASA#JPL#MarsRover
The Curiosity rover has been struggling on its journey up a Mars mountain. After repeated efforts to drive up a steep slope covered in sand and large rocks, it was forced to make a detour that took six weeks to complete.
