NASAs Curiosity Mars rover took this 360-degree selfie using the Mars Hand Lens Imager, or MAHLI, at the end of its robotic arm. The selfie consists of 81 specific images taken on November 20, 2021– the 3,303 rd Martian day, or sol, of the objective.
The rock structure behind the rover is “Greenheugh Pediment”; the hill that is middle distance on the right, is “Rafael Navarro Mountain.” Curiosity is headed towards “Maria Gordon Notch,” the U-shaped opening behind the rover to the left.
Interest was developed by NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages JPL for NASA. JPL handles Curiositys mission for NASAs Science Mission Directorate in Washington. MAHLI was built by Malin Space Science Systems in San Diego.
