Curiosity's work site

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover documented itself in the context of the "Rocknest Wind Drift" work site on the 84th Martian day, or sol, of its mission, October 31. The rover worked at this location from October 2 to November 16.

This mosaic of 55 images from the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) shows the first four of five places from which the rover’s scoop obtained sand to clean the sample handling and processing system.

The rover’s robotic arm isn't visible in the mosaic because the MAHLI that took this mosaic is on the turret at the end of the arm.
