Mars Guy takes a look at NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover. Its dust removal tool does the unexpected is discussed. So too is a look at the rover’s wheels.
“Curiosity doesn’t have an abrading tool like Perseverance [Mars rover] uses to expose fresh rock surfaces. Instead, it uses a wire brush with a now twisted bundle of wires that sometimes makes tiny holes. But last week, Curiosity somehow managed to make a hole more like one from Perseverance,” notes Mars Guy.

Mars Guy also explores how Curiosity maneuvers through challenging terrain in Gale Crater as the rover approaches its 14th year on Mars.
The segment examines the rover’s ongoing wheel wear issues and compares its maintenance tools with those used by the Perseverance mission while inspecting recent geological findings.
