Curious Number: Amazing Martian picture, roaming Mars photographer

NASA Curiosity Mars probe shows the magnificent scene of Mars

This robot explorer, who was launched to this red planet almost ten years ago (November 26, 2011), is still traveling on the Mars watch. Recently, the Curiosity Rover came to Mars' Mount Sharp -the central peak of Aeolis Mons, the Gale Crator, nearby. Here, the members of the mission group captured the beauty of Mars natural landscape with the curious navigation camera.

However, a report from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote that the task team "inspired by the beauty of Mars scene. Color, create a rare postcard from the red planet. "

Since February 18, 2021, the NASA Perseverance has landed on Mars, and the curiosity is no longer the latest detective car on Mars. But since landing in August 2012, Curiosity has been exploring the surface of Mars and collecting important scientific data and incredible images. Even for nearly 10 years before its launch date, the curiosity is still good.

The Mars car landed in the Gale meteorite, and the task was to study the possibility of Gall Condor Panel that had the ability to bred life. Curiosity has found a lake in the stream. Two years after the mission, it reached the mountain bottom of Sharp. The 5 miles (8 kilometers) of Shapshan is high, standing in the center of the meteorite pit.

In August, the Mars car reached a new area during its journey. For scientists, this area is very attractive, because rocks and materials rich in minerals here can reveal about Mars climate information. At this point, this Mars car has been driving more than 16 miles (more than 26 kilometers) on this red planet, and compared to its initial landing point in the meteorite pit, it has climbed more than 1,500 feet (more than 460 meters).

Perseverance nicknamed Percy, [2] is a car -sized Mars detecting car. It aims to explore Mars Jezuro meteor pit, which is a part of the NASA Mars 2020 mission. It was manufactured by Jet Propulsion Laboratory and was launched at 11:50 when coordinating the World on July 30, 2020. [3] At 20:55 when coordinated the World on February 18, 2021, [4] [5] received information that successfully landed on Mars from the confirmation perseverance. As of March 1, 2022, the perseverance has been active since its landing, 366 Mars Day (376 Earth Day). After the Mars car arrived at Mars, NASA named it Oaktavia E. Butler landing point. [6] [7]

The perseverance is very similar to its curious design. On the basis of the curiosity, the perseverance has been appropriately upgraded. The perseverance is equipped with 7 major valid load devices, 19 cameras and 2 speakers. [8] This Martian car will also have a witty Mars mini helicopter -an experimental aircraft and technical works, which completed the first power flight on other planets on April 19, 2021 -transportation on other planets -transportation To Mars. [9] So far, the Wititude has completed 19 flights. [10] [11]

The goal of this detector includes finding the living environment that can raise life on the ancient Mars, find evidence of microorganisms in these environments, collect rocks and soil samples and store on the surface of Mars, and test the oxygen making process of Mars atmosphere. Prepare for future manned tasks. [12]
