Curiosity snagged three samples of drilled rock at this site on its way out of the Glen Torridon region, which scientists believe was a site where ancient conditions would have been favorable to supporting life, if it ever was present. Curiosity took the selfie using a camera called the Mars Hand Lens Imager located on the end of its robotic arm (videos explaining how Curiosity's selfies are taken can be found here). A close-up detail from within the selfie shows the three holes that a rock drill, also found on the end of Curiosity's arm, added to the surface. The three drill holes are named \"Mary Anning,\" \"Mary Anning 3\" and \"Groken,\" the last name coming from a site of geological interest in the Scottish countryside. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA24173","creditText":"NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS","creator":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NASA"}},{"@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://kosmoshub.space/api/media/4fea791e-c3b2-4e0a-ad0c-1e1b3ba872c7/main","name":"HiRISE Spots Curiosity at Woodland Bay","description":"NASA's Curiosity Mars rover can be seen in this image taken from space on May 31, 2019, by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). In the image, Curiosity appears as a bluish speck. The image shows Curiosity at a location called \"Woodland Bay.\" It's just one of many stops the rover has made in an area referred to as the \"clay-bearing unit\" on the side of Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-tall (5-kilometer-tall) mountain inside of Gale Crater. Look carefully, and you can make out what it is likely Curiosity's \"head,\" technically known as the remote sensing mast. A bright spot appears in the upper-left corner of the rover. At the time this image was acquired, the rover was facing 65 degrees counterclockwise from north, which would put the mast in about the right location to produce this bright spot. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23341","creditText":"NASA/JPL-Caltech","creator":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NASA"}},{"@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://kosmoshub.space/api/media/24f6bd7a-6841-4ac9-82b0-9a30353cb0a8/main","name":"Curiosity's Selfie at \"Aberlady\" and \"Kilmarie\"","description":"NASA's Curiosity Mars rover took this selfie on May 12, 2019 (the 2,405th Martian day, or sol, of the mission). To the lower-left of the rover are its two recent drill holes, at targets called \"Aberlady\" and \"Kilmarie.\" These are Curiosity's 20th and 21st drill sites. The selfie is composed of 57 individual images taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI), a camera on the end of the rover's robotic arm. The images are stitched together into a panorama, and the robotic arm is digitally removed. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23240","creditText":"NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS","creator":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NASA"}},{"@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://kosmoshub.space/api/media/2006e620-3545-4b59-bd5c-1dcdd5ff0726/main","name":"View From Camera Not Used During Curiosity's First Six Months on Mars","description":"This view of Curiosity's left-front and left-center wheels and of marks made by wheels on the ground in the "Yellowknife Bay" area comes from one of six cameras used on Mars for the first time more than six months after the rover landed. The left Navigation Camera (Navcam) linked to Curiosity's B-side computer took this image during the 223rd Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (March 22, 2013). The wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter. Curiosity carries a pair of main computers, redundant to each other, in order to have a backup available if one fails. Each of the computers, A-side and B-side, also has other redundant subsystems linked to just that computer. Curiosity operated on its A-side from before the August 2012 landing until Feb. 28, when engineers commanded a switch to the B-side in response to a memory glitch on the A-side. One set of activities after switching to the B-side computer has been to check the six engineering cameras that are hard-linked to that computer. The rover's science instruments, including five science cameras, can each be operated by either the A-side or B-side computer, whichever is active. However, each of Curiosity's 12 engineering cameras is linked to just one of the computers. The engineering cameras are the Navigation Camera (Navcam), the Front Hazard-Avoidance Camera (Front Hazcam) and Rear Hazard-Avoidance Camera (Rear Hazcam). Each of those three named cameras has four cameras as part of it: two stereo pairs of cameras, with one pair linked to each computer. Only the pairs linked to the active computer can be used, and the A-side computer was active from before landing, in August, until Feb. 28. All six of the B-side engineering cameras have been used during March 2013 and checked out OK. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA image use policy.
