The Mars rover
Curiosity, a key element of the mission Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) NASA
resumed traffic January 3 and drove right up to the twisting geological
formation, called Snake river ("Zmeistaya river").
Snake River is a thin
curved line of dark rock, running through between flat slabs of lighter rocks
and towering over the sand. Curiosity rover science team plans to study this
form of relief in detail, before switching to other nearby rocks.
The visit, which took
place on the Red Planet on the 147th sol (Martian day), Curiosity moved three
meters to the north-west, and general all-terrain vehicle odometer now comprise
702 meters. Currently, the rover is in a shallow valley, known Yelloknife Bay.
The main purpose of
NASA's robotic Mars mission MSL is found on the surface of the Red Planet in
the presence of traces of what it organic life.
