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.

2022's second quarter saw Curiosity take a new strategic route to the Gediz Valley ridge, the "crocodile back" terrain of Greenheugh Pediment having proved too hazardous for the rover's wheels. After driving almost 700 metres, Curiosity drilled another hole, just as the trimester was ending, and is now thoroughly examining it.
Here is a visualization of Curiosity's travels on the second quarter of 2022. In all images North is at the top. The path for sols 3431 to 3519 (April 1st to June 30st, 2022) : The above in a wider context (since sol 2009, April 1st, 2018): For the route summaries of previous quarters and their contexts please see: - 1Q 2022 Post #1725 - 4Q 2021 Post #1634 - 3Q 2021 Post #1608 Fernando _____________________________________________________________________ The Martian Way files can also be downloaded from: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OJH...BbQ?usp=sharing Included are "The Martian Way" KMZ file, User's Guide, and MSL Orbital map of Gale crater. |
