The Rover transmitted to Earth a panoramic picture of billions of years of history of Mars.
The Rover Curiosity has overcome one of the most difficult areas on the slopes of mount sharp and did a panoramic picture, being on a plateau Naukluft.
According to the researchers, the allows you to see how varied the surface of Mars for billions of years of its development. The Rover has reached a plateau Naukluft after several months of studying sand dunes on Mars. Rugged surface, the plateau was a danger to the wheels of the Rover.
As stated by Steven Lee from the team of Curiosity, “we are very keenly watching the state of the wheels of the Rover. Cracks and breakouts are accumulated on their surface with approximately the speed that we expected to see. I’m sure they have enough margin of safety in order to deliver us to the most interesting corners on the slopes of mount sharp.”
In the images, which were obtained by the Rover, you can see the rugged wind-blown deposits, the walls of Gale crater and mount sharp. The images allow researchers to explore how changing the surface of Mars from a geological point of view for the last 3-3. 5 billion years.
