Curiosity Rover's robotic arm workspace on mission sol 4554 (May 30, 2025) after a drive to the south-southwest of ~29 meters (~96 ft) and a climb of 2.6 meters (8.6ft). The mosaic was assembled from 15 overlapping Bayer-reconstructed L-MastCam sub-frame images. NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/fredk.

Curiosity Rover enters bizarre terrain.
Nearly two decades after they were first discovered, the Curiosity rover has begun to explore web-like features known as boxwork structures. Answers to how they formed and why they’re bigger than any on Earth are now emerging.

At the same time as the network mission concepts, just before Viking, the first rovers were being considered. They were called Viking Rovers. They would drive to various sites for analysis and in one variant collect samples for return to the lander for more thorough analysis. Here are two of the suggested rover sites and traverses. The top example is near a volcano in Elysium, the bottom one on lava plains in Syrtis Major Planum. These were the first rover plans for Mars.
