Mars Panorama - Curiosity rover: Martian solar day 1197
Out of this World

NASA's Mars Exploration Program (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS) 

 

Sol 1197: Aeolian paradise

 

The images for panorama obtained by the rover's 34-millimeter Mast Camera. The mosaic, which stretches about 30,000 pixels width, includes 199 images taken on Sol 1197 (December 18, 2015).

 

In today’s 2-sol plan, we’ll continue driving around "Namib Dune".  On the first sol we’ll use ChemCam to assess the composition and grain size of a ripple.  Then we’ll use Mastcam to image the brink of the dune and its slipface to characterize the dune morphology.  We’ll also use Mastcam to document an outcrop with an unusual purple hue.  Afterwards, Curiosity will drive even closer to the dune slipface, and we’ll take post-drive imaging to prepare for targeting over the weekend.  On the second sol, we’ll acquire a 360-degree Mastcam mosaic for geologic context.  We’ll also use ChemCam to monitor the composition of the atmosphere, and Mastcam to assess atmospheric opacity.  Throughout the plan Curiosity will acquire a lot of REMS observations to monitor the wind as we move through this dune field.  As the GSTL today, it was a real challenge to get all of these observations into the plan while staying within our data volume constraints.  It’s hard to curb your imaging appetite when the views are so spectacular!

The planet Earth has proven to be too limiting for our awesome community of panorama photographers. We're getting an increasing number of submissions that depict locations either not on Earth (like Mars, the Moon, and Outer Space in general) or do not realistically represent a geographic location on Earth (either because they have too many special effects or are computer generated) and hence don't strictly qualify for our Panoramic World project.But many of these panoramas are extremely beautiful or popular of both.So, in order to accommodate our esteemed photographers and the huge audience that they attract to 360Cities with their panoramas, we've created a new section (we call it an "area") called "Out of this World" for panoramas like these.Don't let the fact that these panoramas are being placed at the Earth's South Pole fool you - we had to put them somewhere in order not to interfere with our Panoramic World.Welcome aboard on a journey "Out of this World".
