A new location for Curiosity rover, after its 26 meter drive during its mission Sol 4614 (July 30, 2025).
Attached is a post-drive workspace mosaic assembled from overlapping MastCam images, the data from the drive, and a screenshot of the traverse map (with scale) showing the path of this drive (yellow line), as it continues to explore the 'Boxwork' structures on Mt Sharp.
