 | Nasa: Mars, December/ 26/ 2012 - Curiosity JPL - Life Search Mission - original video - Do not copy - All rights reserved - Nasa Alien/ UFO.doc - PASADENA, California/ USA. -- The NASA Mars rover Curiosity drove 63 feet (19 meters) northeastward early Monday, Dec. 26, approaching a step down into a slightly lower area called "Yellowknife Bay," where researchers intend to choose a rock to drill. The drive was Curiosity's fourth consecutive driving day since leaving a site near an outcrop called "Point Lake," where it arrived last month. These drives totaled 260 feet (79 meters) and brought the mission's total odometry to 0.37 mile (598 meters). The route took the rover close to an outcrop called "Shaler," where scientists used Curiosity's Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument and Mast Camera (Mastcam) to assess the rock's composition and observe its layering. Before departure from Point Lake, a fourth sample of dusty sand that the rover had been carrying from the "Rocknest" drift was ingested and analyzed by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument. - 2012 | Views: 0  0 ratings |
