This is how Curiosity Rolls!
Curiosity's Progression by Sol Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona |
The above map shows the progress Curiosity has made from sol 0, (August 6, 2012) through today Sol 43 (September 19th, 2012).
Depicted above is the trek Curiosity has made after setting down at Bradbury Landing. The trek follows an eastward path toward the Glenelg area.
Glenelg, Mars (or Glenelg Intrigue) is located near Gale Crater and is a natural meeting point for three types of terrain which Curiosity will examine, one of which is layered bedrock which will feel the bite of Curiosities drill.
The name Glenelg came from a geological point of interest near Yellowknife, Canada. Other named geological features in the area derive their names from the Yellowknife area. The name is also a palindrome which is dovetails nicely with Curiosity's intended path which is programmed to pass Glenelg twice.
Currently Curiosity has 290 Meters on it's odometer, and hopefully many more klicks to go!
