After first month on Mars, I think it's time to start a topic similar to MER one...
First odometry plot to start: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Thank you dilo! I was about to send you a PM to know when we'll opened up this topic
![]() As Curiosity jumped one step (from nil to n°8 position), I put this uptade in MSL's. I also changed the second title from "from landing base" to "from landing place" since the term was no longer the right one. I have no means where I am to check Oppy's distance to the landing place but I guess she get closer to Eagle since sol 2654 instead of further. If I'm wrong I'll correct it later unless someone give me the info. Thanks. Actual total odometry 1. Lunokhod 2 37.00 km 2. Apollo 17 rover 35.89 km 3. Opportunity (3056) 35.02 km 4. Apollo 15 rover 27.76 km 5. Apollo 16 rover 26.55 km 6. Lunokhod 1 10.50 km 7. Spirit 7.73 km 8. Curiosity (29) 0.11 km 9. Sojourner 0.085 km Actual maximum distance from landing place 1. Opportunity (2743) 19.48 km 2. Lunokhod 2 14.39 km 3. Apollo 17 rover 7.2 km 4. Apollo 15 rover 5.0 km 5. Apollo 16 rover 4.6 km 6. Spirit 3.62 km 7. Lunokhod 1 2.26 km 8. Curiosity (29) 0.08 km 9. Sojourner 0.01 km -------------------- |

(BTW you mean "similar to MER", I guess). Corrected, thanks! About Oppy maximum distance from landing point, using Theseiner map on Google Earth I found 19.48 km on Sol2703 (Chester lake). -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Cannot wait the end of the month...
2nd plot on picture statistics is based on figures reported on top of MSL "row images" pages and should include also thumbnails... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

This time I used the "drive log" in the excellent "Curiosity Rover raw Image browser" for a new plot containing also elevation (referred to Bradbury station) and "instant" speed (actually, average speed during each single drive):
UPDATE on Jan,25: I added last drive (#42) LAST UPDATE on Feb,24 -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Updated to drive 46 (Sol297), and waiting for the next "big jump"
![]() Added: elevation and picture statistic updated too: -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Looking to plot above, during drive #50 MSL established the highest average speed after initial, unsurpassed record on drive #2 (Sol21): almost 2.9 cm/s. Looking to detailed speed plot, this is due to almost continuous drive at "cruise" speed around 3.5 cm/s... Curiosity is definitively heating her wheels!
![]() Edit: note also three consecutive "high speed" drives (aboout 1 inch/sec) after mentioned drive #50. -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Update:
Drive #55 established a new speed record, 34.5mm/s, slightly below the absolute record of Sol21 (35.8 mm/s) and, for sure, the longest drive at almost constant "cruise speed"! If we imagine for a moment she can hold such a speed for a 1.5 hours "long drive" (like the ones done in Sol 120 or 297), this would bring almost 200m in a sol, close to Opportunity drive record... Edit: Plot updated to Sol 331 / drive #58 -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
