NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Corbate (MRO) has just recorded an image that we have never seen so far. The orbit has recorded the curiosity of the curiosity in the image that is thought to be the first orbital image of the rover moving on the Red Planet.
According to RCO News Agency, On February 7, a high -resolution scientific test, called Hirise, recorded NASA’s Curiosity Martian moving at Gil Mars.
According to Space, the Mars identification orbits had already seen curiosity, but the rover, about the size of a car, has always been fixed in previous images. NASA officials said in a statement yesterday that the newly released photo is believed to be the first orbital image of the rover moving on the Red Planet.
“The footprints of the mars, which are seen in the image, cover about 2 meters and will probably last months until the Martian wind destroys them,” officials of the agency added.
These wheels show almost 5 times that started on February 2, as the curiosity runs at the Gediz Vallis channel at a trip to its next scientific destination.
The Curiosity rover landed in a mission to evaluate the potential of life on Mars in the past on the Gill crater of 2 miles (2 kilometers). The work of this rover has been very attractive to astronomers and shows that Gil has long been a habitable environment. The area hosts a long -term lake and current that contained life ingredients as well as a potential chemical energy source that can support microbial metabolism.
Mars identification orbits opened even more than curiosity on the Red Planet and reached Mars in March 2008. As the new photo shows, the orbits are still strong, looking for signs of water activity in the past, and act as a relay for spacecraft on Mars such as curiosity and younger relatives, and occasionally monitor the movements of these robots.
