Martian Cartography

Here is a 360° panorama captured by Curiosity at her current location, with North at center and South at both ends, on top of two large and small scale maps with her position.

There are many geological features in the panorama, can you find them in the maps?

Wow 300 images captured by Curiosity to build a panoramic survey at her Sol 4175 location, ten days ago. This video show them at a rate of 10/second. It took about 50 minutes for the rover to complete this scan with her left mast camera.

Here is how the 300 images are mapped onto the resulting panorama, quite an endeavor!

Mounting the suspension for the wheels of the rover. Of course, it would be possible to simplify everything, to make a rover with a simple wheel system, but as always, we are not looking for simple solutions
