Road work
A newly released map shows the route driven by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity through the 2691 Martian day, or sol, of the rover’s mission on Mars (March 2, 2020).
Numbering of the dots along the line indicate the sol number of each drive. North is up. The scale bar is 1 kilometer (~0.62 mile).
From Sol 2664 to Sol 2691, Curiosity had driven a straight line distance of about 38.83 feet (11.83 meters), bringing the rover’s total odometry for the mission to 13.62 miles (21.92 kilometers).
The base image from the map is from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera (HiRISE) in NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
