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)
A closer look at the tailings (cuttings) around Curiosity Rover's latest sample drill hole 'Ubajara'. This processed image is from one of the rover's science cameras (R-MastCam) and was acquired on mission sol 3823 (May 9, 2023) at site 101/774, that's over 10 years and 9 months after landing on Mars. These sample holes have a diameter of about 1.6 centimeters (5/8th inch)

Mars Rocks!
These are from Gale crater, snapped by Curiosity rover on August 18, 2023 (Sol 3921) using its 100mm mast camera. Each of the processed mosaics are assembled from overlapping Bayer reconstructed frames and document a new region that is thought to contain some materials that have been washed down from Gediz Vallis.

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)
Curiosity's workspace after a bump (short drive) on August 21, 2023 / sol 3924. This mosaic was assembled from 6 overlapping Bayer reconstructed L-MastCam images. It covers an area about 2 meters (~6 feet) across. The mosaic features some small boulders from the Gediz Vallis ridge. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk
1 of 2 - After a short drive on sol 793 (May 14, 2023) Perseverance rover acquired these 5 images using one of its navigation cameras. Each image is comprised of 4 overlapping tiles. These roughly processed / assembled L-NavCam images provides a 360 degree look around the rovers new location at site 39/1036.

Looks like a long drive on September 29, 2023 (sol 927)

#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
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
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.

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)
