Mars Guy explains that NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover carries a camera that was designed for the sole purpose of recording, for the first time, video of a Mars landing. But a few years after that landing, it was repurposed to shoot continuous images during drives, including its latest one.

Watch Curiosity’s latest drive on Mars. Mars Guy shows rare video from Curiosity’s Mars Descent Imager (MARDI) camera, repurposed for “sidewalk imaging.” This 38-minute drive covers 59 feet (18 meters) of Martian terrain.
