Another day on Mars, another drive for Perseverance rover. This drive was completed during mission sol 1472 April 11, 2025). Arriving at site 72.0.

Attached is a roughly processed / cropped post-drive L-NavCam composite image from 6 tiles, the drive data, and screen capture of the updated mission map. The traverse distance was 14.5 meters (47.5 ft) due west. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA.

Curiosity rover used its arm mounted MAHLI camera to capture close up images of one of the knobby/bumpy rocks in its workspace on sol 4479. Attached is an animated GIF using three focus stacked images that were acquired by moving the rover's robotic arm between images. The camera standoff was 25/30cm from the target which provides us with an scene width of ~15cm. Credits:NASA/JPL-Caltech

Another day, another drive for Perseverance rover. This short drive was completed during mission sol 1445 (March 14, 2025). Arriving at site 70.0.

Attached is a roughly processed post-drive 4-tile L-NavCam image, the drive data and screen capture of the mission map. The dogleg traverse distance was just 6.45 meters (~21 ft) west-northwest. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA.
