The car-sized Curiosity has driven more than one mile over Martian terrain, beamed back more than 190 gigabits of data, including 70,000 images (36,700 full; 35,000 thumbnails), and its laser has fired more than 75,000 times at 2,000 targets
The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, on Nov. 26, 2011. Mars rover Curiosity landed successfully on the floor of Gale Crater on Aug. 6, 2012 Universal Time (evening of Aug. 5, Pacific Time), at 4.6 degrees south latitude, 137.4 degrees east longitude and minus 4,501 meters (2.8 miles) elevation.
In July 2013, Curiosity finished investigations in the Glenelg area and began a southwestward trek expected to last many months toward an entry point to the lower layers of Mount Sharp. There, at the main destination for the mission, researchers anticipate finding further evidence about habitable past environments and about how the ancient Martian environment evolved to become much drier.
