Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on August 22, 2012 My favourite MSL image so far. This one shows the extended robotic arm pointing towards the rim of Gale Crater and part of Mt. Sharp on the horizon, where, ultimately, it is heading.

Posted by jbridges in Mars Science Laboratory Blog on February 9, 2015 Now that our first Pahrump drill is completed one of the things we do is check the CheMIn inlet (which is in the top right of the NavCam image) to check for any debris, blockages etc.
