MSL Route Map Options

[Phil Stooke]

I think there always was a NASA website and A JPL website for each mission, with the JPL site being the best for users like many of us. I hope that the JPL site is down for an update and will come back.

Thank you Phil.

I'm afraid that there will be no longer two sites for each mission: these new ones include features from the old JPL sites such as the whole "raw images" sections.

==>> However, good news: the maps are back!

- Curiosity: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/msl-curiosity/location-map/
- Perseverance: https://science.nasa.gov/mission/mars-2020-...e/location-map/

With best regards, and thanks again for sharing us so oftenly your nice work

==>> And many thanks also to the JPL contributors who feed on a daily basis these two great Mars rover sites, packed with useful info for the media

Yes, the maps are back and the Mission Updates can be found at

Curiosity drove again on sol 4159, about 12m, to its weekend location.

Thanks much for the updates - here's hoping the 360 panoramic mosaics come back as well that we've been seeing regularly until recently.

Did you know?

"The Martian Way" KML file includes the Curiosity Mars Clock. It is automatically displayed when the file is loaded and can be recalled at any time by selecting it from the left menu.



The clock displays the coordinates and the Local Mean Solar Time (LMST) at Curiosity's current location. Sol "zero" starts at the local "midnight" of the landing sol.

The clock's date and time computing algorithms are based on information of the Mars24 Sunclock from NASA/GISS, available at:
