το νέο διαδραστικό πανόραμα 30.000 pixels από το Curiosity στην τοποθεσία “John
Klein” (εκεί που έγινε η πρώτη γεώτρηση στο έδαφος του Άρη).
This self-portrait
of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity combines 66 exposures taken by the rover's Mars
Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the Sol 177th of Curiosity's work on Mars (Feb.
3, 2013).
The rover is
positioned at a patch of flat outcrop called "John Klein", which was
selected as the site for the first rock-drilling activities by Curiosity. The
self-portrait was acquired to document the drilling site.
The rover's robotic
arm is not visible in the mosaic. MAHLI, which took the component images for
this mosaic, is mounted on a turret at the end of the arm. Wrist motions and
turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic's component
images. The arm was positioned out of the shot in the images or portions of
images used in the mosaic.
At the bottom of
this panorama is the hole in a rock. The drilling took place on Feb. 8, 2013,
or Sol 182, Curiosity's 182nd Martian day of operations. The sample-collection
hole is 0.63 inch (1.6 centimeters) in diameter and 2.5 inches (6.4
centimeters) deep. The "mini drill" test hole near it is the same
diameter, with a depth of 0.8 inch (2 centimeters).
The images for full
panorama obtained by the rover's 34-millimeter Mast Camera. The mosaic, which
stretches about 30,000 pixels width, includes 113 images taken on Sol 170 and
an additional 17 images taken on Sol 176.
