Earth planning date: Friday, May 17, 2024 During the night of May 10, Earth experienced a fantastic display of aurorae (Northern and Southern Lights) which extended all the way to tropical latitudes, courtesy of the strongest geomagnetic storm since …science.nasa.gov
Sols 4186-4188: Almost there... - NASA Science
Earth planning day: Wednesday, May 15, 2024 The rover planning engineers yet again did a great job navigating through the large bedrock blocks that litter the terrain in front of us.science.nasa.gov
Sols 4184-4185: Look Near! Look Far! - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Monday, May 13, 2024 Today I’ve chosen to show off a spectacular image of ‘Texoli butte,’ but I’m rather biased in my assessment of its beauty because I am currently part of the team studying it.science.nasa.gov
Sols 4182-4183: We Reached the South Side of Pinnacle Ridge… What’s Next? - NASA Science
We planned quite a drive on Wednesday, with lots of twists and turns over very bumpy terrain, so the team was delighted to learn everything completed as planned when we received our downlink at ~4 am Pacific Time this morning!science.nasa.gov
Sols 4180-4182: Imaging fest! - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Wednesday, May 8, 2024 What a wonderful sight to see all the sedimentary structures.science.nasa.gov
Sols 4178-4179: The Pinnacle Ridge Scarp - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Monday, May 6, 2024 Curiosity’s set of complex activities and drive over the weekend executed perfectly and we started our planning today directly in front of a scarp, or wall, along a section of the upper Gediz Valis ridge known…science.nasa.gov
Sols 4175-4177: Don't Blink We're Taking a Picture - NASA Science
Curiosity loves to drive so it’s pretty rare we stay at a location longer than one planning cycle without the intention of drilling.science.nasa.gov
Sols 4173-4174: Reflections - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Wednesday, May 1, 2024 Today’s planning was a little out of the ordinary. Not in terms of the plan itself, Curiosity’s team built an exciting plan utilizing much of its science toolkit.science.nasa.gov
Sols 4168-4170 Reaching the “Pinnacle” of Gediz Vallis Ridge (Pinnacle Ridge) - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Friday, April 26, 2024 Today we had a typically challenging Friday for planning. We are parked at the base of Pinnacle Ridge, with an interesting dark block named “Bilko Pinnacle” in our workspace (shown in the image).science.nasa.gov
Sols 4171-4172: Scoot Over! - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Monday, April 29, 2024 On this two sol-planning day, the Curiosity science team logged in and found ourselves face to face with ‘Pinnacle Ridge’ (pictured above), part of the upper Gediz Vallis Ridge (uGVR).science.nasa.gov
Sols 4166-4167: A Garden Full of Rocks - NASA Science
Earth planning date: Wednesday April 24, 2024 Here on Earth (in Toronto, specifically), it’s a very typical April which can’t quite make up its mind about whether or not it wants to be spring.science.nasa.gov
