New photo from Mars from Curiosity

Viewings: 43029

As new photo from Mars and customers NASA, we will try to upload them for you with a small description and maximum HD.

New house of Curiosity (Curiosity)

These are the first two complete, fully-resolved images of the Martian surface from the navigation camera Curiosity, which is located at head" or the mast of the Rover. In the distance, on the rocky land you can see the edge of the Gale Crater and the mountains.
The topography is very mountainous erosion, in the middle you can see low relief plains.

Curiosity - Heat Shield

This color image showing the heat insulator NASA Curiosity, the photo was taken during the descent to the surface of Mars on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6 EDT). The image was obtained with the Mars Descent Imager instrument, known as MARDI and shows a 15-foot (4.5-meter) diameter of the heat shield, the picture is made from 16 metres from the spacecraft.

Curiosity landed inside the crater, known as the Gale Crater.

The stain from the engine

This is a closeup of the areas where the soil was blown engines during the descent. This detail is important because it shows the depth of the soil in the area. In the photo above, in the area adjacent to the excavation area you can see a large number of small stones, which may form the sidewalk as a layer on which the motion will be difficult, so this photo is of interest for NASA.

Winding Mars

This picture consists of images taken from the end of October 2011 (starting at top right) until the beginning of July 2012 (bottom left) with intervals of 5-7 days. It is possible to trace the retrograde motion of a red disk of Mars in the night sky of the Earth. To put all points of the retrograde motion of Mars, just hover your mouse on the image (or see this animation.) But in fact, Mars does not begins to recede in its orbit. The apparent retrograde motion of the planets on the background of distant stars is a reflection of its own orbital motion of the Earth. Retrograde motion can be observed, when the Earth in its motion around the Sun ahead of a more distant planet, moving faster in its closer to the sun orbit. 4 March 2012 Mars was exactly opposite the Sun in Earth's sky. In the picture is the brightest point. Recently descended to the surface of the red planet, the Mars Rover Curiosity was launched into space on November 26, when Mars was close to the midpoint of the loop back down movement. Now Mars can be seen as the bright dot near Saturn and star Spicy near the Western horizon after the sunset.

The wheel on Mars

This wheel Rover Curiosity firmly on the Martian surface. Before you one of the first photos of the Mars science laboratory after a successful landing on 5 August 2012 at 10:32 PM Pacific time. Left rear wheel of the Rover, which is visible in the lower right corner of the photo with a wide-angle Camera to prevent hazards (Hazard Avoidance Camera), has a diameter of 50 centimeters (20 inches). In the right corner you can see a piece of spring hinges from the protective cover of the camera, and in the upper left - piece element radioisotope thermoelectric generator producing food for the Rover. The camera is looking at the Sun through stony plain of Mars. And bright stones top right - spurs of the mountain ridge around the crater Gail. To them from the landing of the Rover 20 kilometers. Later this week we can expect receipt of the first color photographs, when the Rover will set the mast with a high resolution camera.

Self-portrait

The portrait of Curiosity made with the navigation camera on the present vertically. The camera clicked image 360 degrees around the Rover. These images are displayed here in a polar projection. Most of tiles thumbnails, or small copies of the full resolution images that have not been sent back to Earth.

360

This is the first 360-degree panoramic view of Mars. Most of tiles thumbnails, or small copies of the full resolution images that have not been sent back to Earth.
Mountain Sharp to the right, the crater can be seen in the center. The body of the Rover, in the foreground, and the shadow of his head, masts, sticking to the right.

Curiosity Looking away from the Sun

Navigation camera is used to help locate information about the sun necessary for the search and communication with the Earth. After the camera is pointed at the sun, it turned in the opposite direction, and took this picture. The position of the shadow helps to confirm the location of the sun.

Rover looks towards the rear left side of his body.
On the left you can see the antenna for communication with the Earth. On the horizon edge Gale Crater. With rights consequences of the descent, the traces of rocket engines.

The portrait of Curiosity made with the navigation camera.
This mosaic consists of eight images, each of 1024 by 1024 pixels.

Traces Landing

This mosaic image shows a portion of the left side of Curiosity and two tracks from the release of rocket engines (centre).

This is a 360 degree panorama image of Mars and Gale crater.

Curiosity on Mars: the wall of the crater Gail

What would you see if you were on Mars? In this picture of the Martian landscape, artificially painted in approximate the colors that you could see, had all this on Earth. These pictures are from Mars, with artificially set white balance are scientists-planetary community to search for images of rocks and other entities similar to Earth. For pictures with high resolution you can see the far wall of the crater Gail. The picture was taken by the Rover Curiosity, which landed on Mars last week. On the photos in natural colors, you can see how it actually looks like on Mars. Automatic Rover Curiosity continues to test all of their systems and get the latest software from the Earth. Then he will go on a trip to Mars, to study the landscape, which is similar to covered unusual layers of matter dry riverbed.

The first portrait of the Rover made in high resolution 8 August and released on the 17th.

The first experimental Rover, a piece of stone on which experienced a laser. The main goal of the experiment was to test the tool and how it works. For example, it would be good to find out any changes in range with each pulse. If so, this may indicate that the stone surface was covered with dust or some other material, and the cobblestone has a different composition.
