Flitterkill August 8, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member August 8, 2012 Nice but not Curiosity, unless it's been driving around for a long time without any of us knowing about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amertrash August 8, 2012 Share amertrash Member August 8, 2012 (edited) That's from the Opportunity, which landed in 2004 and is still going despite the fact it's planned duration was like 3 months. I don't believe Curiosity has deployed it's camera mast yet for some reason, the images back have been from the hazmat hazCams which are low resolution. My favorite picture from the surface, the sun setting on Mars. Edited August 8, 2012 by amertrash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
