While Curiosity busied itself studying the 4102 sol's location and even drilling its 40th full hole, I was travelling and unable to post.
Here is an update to sol 4119, including the new hole's location and images. ![]() 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. |

I am trying to catch up, after a long hiatus. Here is the path and target update to sol 4142 (Curiosity just moved again!)
Hopefully that will follow soon, as well as that new data from PDS Release 35 and the quarterly maps.

This update of the KML file to sol 4142 includes data from the PDS MSL Release 35:

The "Mission Updates for Sols 4146-4147" mentions a return to MSAR. So here is the drive on sol 4144 with the notional MSAR 10 route (in blue).

During the first quarter of 2024, Curiosity continued its southward route, climbing Aeolis Mons, a.k.a.Mount Sharp, and studying the Gedis Vallis ridge from close. MSL explorations took it to a few meters of the channel proper and the 40th hole (Mineral King) was successfully drilled.
Here is a visualization of Curiosity's travels on the first quarter of 2024. In all images North is at the top. The path for sols 4054 to 4142 (January 1st to March 31st, 2024): The above in a wider context (since sol 2988, January 1st, 2021): For the route summaries of previous quarters and their contexts please see:

On sol 4151 Curiosity drove south 16+ m, re-approaching the channel.

Route update to sol 4155. A "dog leg" drive of 20+ m took Curiosity to less than 4m of the channel's bank.

Update on the sol 4155 location: new target names added.
There is a fascinating rock ("Sawtooth") off Curiosity's right middle wheel. The drive planned for sol 4157 may have already occurred but I don't have the data yet.

Curiosity drove just under 19m on sol 4158.

Dear All,
As you may have noticed yesterday, there was a major update on both Curiosity and Perseverance NASA websites which share now the same visual architecture. ==>> However and maybe I'm wrong, but the "Where is Curiosity ?" and "Where is Perseverance ?" online maps have disappeared! ![]() Has anyone found them elsewhere ? ![]() Thank so much for your kind answers: those maps are really good and useful educational tools (and even for the Press).
