Explanation:
What does the Curiosity rover look like on Mars?
To help find out, NASA engineers digitally synthesized multiple navigation
camera images taken last week into what appears to be
the view of a single camera.
Besides clods of
Martian dirt,
many of Curiosity's
science instruments
are visible and appear in good shape.
Near the middle of the rover is an
augmented realitytag intended to enable smartphones to provide background information.
Far in the distance is a wall of
Gale Crater.
As Curiosity will begin to
roll soon, its
first destination has now been chosen: an intriguing intersection of three types of terrain named
Glenelg.
