  • Thursday 23rd August Sol 17

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 23, 2012 The team has taken a break as Governor of California visits JPL to hear about MSL.  We also have the first wide angle images HazCam (Hazard Cameras at the front and back of Curiosity) to look at.

  • Friday 14th September Sol 38

    Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on September 14, 2012 The MastCam has finished imaging of different parts of the rover and we are driving again.  On our way to Glenelg we will stop to analyse a basaltic rock.
