Thread created for posting MSL route maps and map updates.
Comments / suggestions adding value to the route maps are allowed, but discussions regarding the route itself and "future" paths are not. Use the currently active thread for the latter. Eduardo Tesheiner Moderator ----- Here's an updated map of activities near the landing site and the start of a map of the route to Glenelg. I may get one more step added to this before I have to take a break Aug. 31 to Sept 16, and I will resume it after that. Details will be revised as necessary as we go. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Curiosity continues to climb Mt. Sharp. It is now more than 330m (~1100 ft) above Yellowknife Bay, the lowest point in its route (thanks Paolo!). This is only a rough sketch, the elevation profile's alignment with the route is poor, but I hope it conveys the idea.

Thanks Nogal : a 330m climb goes definitely above the summit (antenna) of the Eiffel Tower (325 m). An image I took last Sunday... Enjoy |

Thanks vikingmars. The height difference in the PDS data set (sols 0 to 1781) is approximately 294m, but Curiosity has continued her climb ever since.
Ah, Paris! When I was young I once climbed the Eiffel Tower till the second floor, the access was free. Many steps, a hard climb, but was rewarded with a magnificent view. Lovely photo, thank you. |
